I think this is what they're trying to say:
"....creates a greater imbalance (in the flow of people) at the cold spots....."
I'm not sure, but maybe you could also say:
"further accentuates the poor flow of people through the cold spots....

no longer be as useful/profitable
Looks to be saying that ZZZ, etc. are less useful, profitable or worth less to the company.

create additional imbalance
I consider "descompensar" poor Spanish - to say the least - but I think that is what they mean
Something went wrong...
