MY ESSAY:

The diagram compares two possible locations () for a new school in a town named Canterbury.

Overall, s1 is located in the countryside outside of the town, whereas S1 is in the town centre. In addition, access to the s1 is relatively more convenient than S2 as vehicles are forbidden in the town centre.

S1 is just outside the town limits to the northeast. It is close to the main road connecting Canterbury to Sturry, a town with a population of 7000, 5km to the northeast. Its location is also convenient for Canterbury‘s housing areas surrounding the town centre. However, children living in a smaller town, Chartham, population of 4500, 7 km to the southwest, will have to travel through the residential areas to reach this site due to having to bypass the town centre, a no-traffic zone.

The second site (S2), by contrast, is on the southern edge of the town centre. Consequently, it is more convenient for residents of Chartham and those living on the west and southwest outskirts compared to S1, and quite hard to reach by Sturry inhabitants and the ones residing in the north and northeast outskirts as it is not accessible by vehicles. Similarly, students and staff in the university in the middle of the north side will face more difficulty reaching S2 than S1 even though the distance of both sites from the university is similar.
