dramatic changes both outdoors and indoors/ the area become less green and more built-up/
the most notable change in the area was the erection of housing.

The two maps below show the city of Felix Stone in the years 1967 and 2001. Summarise the
information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where
relevant.
Single map:

Below is a map of the city of Brandfield. City planners have decided to build a new shopping
mall for the area, and two sites, S1 and S2 have been proposed.
Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons
where relevant.
The map illutrates two possible locations for the construction of a new super market for the
town of Garlsdon.
Overall, it is clear that the first site is in the countryside, while the second location is roughly in
the middle of the town centre. The first potential location (S1) is outside the town itself, and is
12km to the south-east of Hindon.
There site is also close to the main roads and the railway. If the supermarket is built there, this
would be easy for shoppers from both Hindon and Garlsdon who could travel either by car or
train.
In contrast, the second suggested location, S2, is right in the town centre and to the north of
the southern industrial zone. The distances form this site to Cransdon and Bransdon are 25km
and 16km respectively. If the supermarket is constructed there, it could be accessed by road or
rail from the surrounding towns. However, because the central area is a no-traffic zone, cars
would be unable to park and access would be difficult.
