Map of Brandfield with two proposed sites for a shopping 
mall 
 


 
 
 
 
 
 
Model Answer 
The map illustrates plans for two possible sites for a shopping mall in the city of Brandfield. It 
can be seen that the two sites under consideration are in the north and the south east of the town. 
The first possible site for the shopping mall, S1, is just north of the city centre, above the railway 
line, which runs from the south east of the city to the north west. If it is build here, it will be next 
to a large housing estate, thus providing easy access for those living on the estate and in the city 
centre. 
The site in the south east, S2, is again just by the railway line and fairly close to the city centre, 
but it is near to an industrial estate rather than housing.  
There is a main road that runs through the city and is close to both sites, thus providing good 
road access to either location. A large golf course and park in the west of the town prevents this 
area from being available as a site.
