The layout of the town, Garlsdon, and information on the proposed sites of a new supermarket in the town are portrayed in the given map.
Garlsdon is an industrial town, with a population of 65,000 people. It is surrounded by three smaller towns, Cransdon at the southeast, Bransdon at the southwest and Hindon at the northwest.
The first site is planned in the north-western outskirts of Garlsdon, which is well-connected by road and rail. It would be more convenient to the town’s population at the north and to the 10,000 inhabitants of Hindon. The second site is located at the centre of the town, at almost equal distance from the housing facilities at the north and the south. Apart from facilitating the town’s own population, it can be accessible to the shoppers from Bransdon and Cransdon by main roads, which have a population of 15,000 and 29,000 respectively. However, the location is marked as no traffic zone.
Overall, the second site appears accessible to more customers than the first one, both to the town-dwellers and to those from the three surrounding towns.
