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 given map illustrates the Canterbury

town

where planning is going on to build a new school. Two locations have been suggested for

this

purpose.

Overall

,

this

town

is a blend of human habitations surrounded by lush green fields. Most interestingly, the

Town

Centre which is in the middle of the residential sector is a complete traffic-free zone. A main road crosses

this

housing area, going towards two ends of the

town

.

This

small community

also

has a university on the North side.

In addition

, there seem to be other communities nearby and the schools would probably be accommodating the children from those dwellings as well. The first proposed location is on the Northeast side of the map in the countryside area just near the houses. If approved,

this

educational institute would be located at a distance of 5 kilometres from the nearest

town

of Sturry which has 7000 residents. The second place under consideration is in the

town

centre, which is surrounded by an area where no cars can enter. A broader view of the map shows that

this

site

also

falls almost in the centre of the whole Canterbury

town

. The nearest neighbourhood to

this

school is 7 kilometres away, named Chartham, with a population of 4500 people.
