Introduction

This piece of coursework is based in Bristol and how the city is laid out. This includes the residential areas, the industrial areas & how Bristol, if at all fits into any of the existing city land use models. This also requires a bit of fieldwork, explaining the area’s buildings, streets, landscape and the like.

Aims:

My aims are to find out:

  1. How do residential areas change as you move from the central suburbs to the edge of the city?
  2. Why is Modern industry located upon the edge of the city?
  3. How well does Bristol fit the models of Urban Land use that were proposed by Burgess, Hoyt, Harris and Ullman?

Data collection

The way in which I have collected data is through a fieldtrip and looking at given areas and interpreting how they have become in this way, how old the development is, what kind of facilities there are, how wealthy the people are, cleanliness etc. The cleanliness, building materials etc. were recorded using an environmental quality survey and to be interpreted later in this piece.

Also the data used in the cloropleth maps is also going to be explained. These are a good, efficient way of displaying data in an understandable way.
