MODEL ESSAY:


The map displays Garlsdon, a town, with proposed sites for the construction of new supermarket.

Garlsdon is a locality with 65,000 habitants, mainly housing industries, residence and a traffic free Town Centre with its main transportation systems being rail and road networks. It has a country side surrounding the entire town with three main neighboring settlements. Hindon, 12 km to its north eastern part, to the south eastern side is Bransdon, 16 km away from the industrial hub and 25 km away is 29,000 populated Cransdon, which is to the south western part of Garlsdon.

The first proposed site for the erection of the shop center is to the north western part of Garlsdon, located in the country side, between Garlsdon and Hindon. The area is closer to the industrial hub of Garlsdon, in between the main road that leads from Garlsdon to Hindon and the railway which connects Hindon, Galsdon and Cransdon.

The second suggested place for the super mart building is approximately centered in Garlsdon, in between the northwards and southward residence, but mainly in center of the traffic free Town Center. This site is closer to the main roads from Garlsdon to Bransdon and Crasdon with the railway line connecting Hindon, Garlsdon and Cransdon passing just by it.
