This map presents the town of Garlsdon, which has two sites with a total population of 65000. The first site, which is 12 km from Hindon has 10000 residents, and the other one has a total of 44000 inhabitants extended between Crandson and Brandson. This town is surrounded by countryside and contains a town center in the heart of it, with a no traffic zone, a housing area, industrial zones, one railway, and two main roads crossing the whole town.

The first site is located in the northern, between the railway and the main road making it easy to move in and out of the country, unlike the second site, which is in the town center with no traffic, so the residents may have a slight problem walking and shopping in the area.

To sum up, choosing between site 1 and 2 may be difficult because the first site location is away from the center, which means that the calm covers the whole area and it’s easy to travel, but the second site, being in a central position could be more comfortable for local shopping.
