The map below is of the town of Canterbury. A new school (S) is planned for the area. The map shows two possible sites for the school. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The map compares two proposed locations for the new school construction in Canterbury. The town has a centre with no traffic zone in the middle part of it, which is surrounded by a housing area. The outer zone of
this
region is the countryside, which has one university built on the border between the countryside and the housing area. The first option is to build the designated school on the northeast side of the town, specifically inside the countryside ring. In comparison, the second plan is to place the school exactly at the centre of the city, to be specific in the southern part of it. For the first option, the building will be developed on the right side of the main road connecting Canterbury and Sturry. As for
this
choice, 7.000 people settle around and the distance to the nearest city is
also
closer (5 kilometres). Meanwhile, for the second one, the site will be
at the end
of the road between the municipality and Chartam, extending roughly 7 kilometres with 4.500 people living around.
