Threshold Limit and Carrying Capacity are big ideas about how much people, buildings, or activities an area can handle without running out of important resources or hurting the environment. Imagine a school bus with only a certain number of seats. If you keep adding more kids, eventually there won’t be enough space, and the bus will become uncomfortable or even unsafe.

In Jamaica, for example, cities like Kingston are growing quickly because more people are moving there to find work or go to school. But the land and resources in Kingston can only support a certain number of people comfortably. If too many people move in without careful planning, it can lead to not enough houses, crowded roads…
