To ensure viability of higher population densities within the most integrated areas of the site, a systematic approach for determining the water treatment capacities within building morphologies is established. Based on their proximity to the park wetlands, parcels located closer distances are capable of placing a higher reliance on the park wetlands to assist in their water treatment needs. This will require a smaller portion of their building morphologies to be devoted to the integration of constructed natural wetlands, and allow for a higher population of inhabitants within the building morphology. Those located further distances away require a larger portion of their morphologies to be devoted to constructed wetland systems, and capable of meeting the needs of smaller populations. Through feedbacks regulating the proximities and relationships between elements within the site, a system emerges that drives the morphology of the buildings and the capacities of their metabolic processes in relation to the collective ecology.
