Aim: does Woking have a CBD?

Hypotheses:

1. Woking has all the characteristics of a typical CBD

2. Woking's CBD is going through a period of physical growth in all directions

3. Woking has an extensive sphere of influence, which reflects its important place in the regional shopping hierarchy

We will test these hypotheses by carrying out some activities to prove or disprove the hypotheses.

We are doing a project to find out about Woking's CBD, we are going to do many activities to try and find out a whole range of data which give us an incite into Woking's CBD and what its like. A CBD is the central business district- the main shopping place in a settlement. It is normally in the centre of a settlement and is where most people will go to shop. The bigger it is and the bigger the settlement the bigger the 'sphere of influence' - the distance that people travel to go there to shop.
