The provided map illustrates the layout of a town of Garldson with 2 possible potential locations for the upcoming construction of a supermarket.
Overall,the map presents the small city with a total population of 65000 inhabitants which is situated between 3 smaller towns. Moreover, the area is divided into 4 main zones such as countryside, town centre, housing and industrial areas which are indeed connected by both railway and main roads. The countryside has been chosen as a potential place, while it can be constructed in the town centre .
If the supermarket is built in site 1 ,then it would be located between the main 12 km road which leads northeast from the town centre to Hinson and the railway from Crandson straight towards Hindon with 10000 citizens. Journey to this location is facilitated for residents of Hindon,which is relatively close, while both Crandson’s and Brandson’s inhabitants will spend longer as it is almost 25 km northeast from Brandson and north located from the Brandson,which can be quite a tiring experience for a supermarket travel.
On the other hand, if site 2 would be chosen, it will be more convenient for the majority of Garldon’s population as it gets the benefits of a town centre. Both roads and railway go through the city as 16 km long road leads to Brandsom and 25 km southwest to the Cranston by both railway and car .Unlike the site 1, which is along the major road,site 2 is in a no traffic zone,resulting in limiting the transportation network and creating the pedestrian friendly environment.
