6 .133 In each category, activities are listed which would require facilities. For each facility type, their number, size, and total area are projected, along with explicatory commentary. The table forms the bulk of this section; the text will only amplify certain aspects of the list. The concept of a housing stock unit was first introduced in Section V.3.2. Provision of adaptable units which accommodate changing populations would suit the projected lifestyle of the colony.
