This can be used to explain why everyone in Egypt settled around the Nile River. It is the only river in Egypt and without its resources and transportation abilities it would be hard to thrive.

This would allow city planners to eliminate food deserts and to make sure each neighborhood is able to access facilities that lead to a healthy life.
