Rural Urban Fringe:
1.
a) Greenfield site is an area in the rural urban fringe which has not being built on yet.
b) The main attraction is that the land is cheaper, less traffic, the roads are better and the land is greener.
c) Six: housing developments, high tech firms, hyper markets, office developments, hotels and conferences and conference centers.
2.
a) J: a lot of locals from the small village and other people near by the nationl park will be attracted. Outside city there are so many people living in rural areas will also come on a main road.
K: closer to CBD but will attract people from rural areas.
N: attracts many travelling on the motor way.
M: at a busy area so many customers but more competition with a large city
L: Although built on main road, too close to CBD and other shops and too built up for a lot of parking space
b)i) I think M, because it will draw people from the small town and into the large city
ii) N, because other than good roads there’s nothing to attract people.
c) I think 1, because there’s a small town nearby attracting locals, it’s in a rural area so there’s plenty of space, near a main road so easy access, small village will supply workers, lots of land for parking
3 a) theres a nearby main road so easy for deliveries and good acces nearby town, Rotherham, will supply local workers,outside the city area so land and rents cheaper, nearby towns for local customers, out of the city area also decreases competition
b) theres large space for car parking , no need to drive relativity far, can buy in bulk so no need to come every day, large variety of stock and also provide play areas, cinemas, restaurants etc.
Activity 2
1.
2. the causes of environmental problems include traffic pollution, air pollution, inadequate waste management, raising temperatures, no green areas due to high story buildings
3 they’re increasing due to the amount of people who own a car, the more fossil fuels we’re using the increasing competition for land to build on
4. trying to limit people to one care per family may not work due to the fact that everyone needs to drive to work
Activity 3
a) Plenty of nearby free parking, lots of space so lots of stock and people can buy in bulk, easily accessible if you own a car, prices can be slighty lower, cheaper land price, developments out of town reduce environmental pressure in town and creates new jobs
b) Mostly middle age families will benefit from this development as they can easily drive, bring children and maybe even get a job
Activity 4
a) Influxes of rich and retired: the contrasting numbers of the rich people and the retired people
b) In search of pastoral dream: in search of an idealized version of country life
c) The indigenous rural population: the native/natural rural population
d) Gentrified villages: renovated/improved villages
2. a) counterurbanization is the moment of people from urban ares to rural
B) due to the ‘better qualify of life’ and cheaper land
c) generally wealthy workers and elderly
3 a) the newcomers may not respect the country living farms, housing prices may increase and the decline in public transport may occur if everyone moves to the rural areas and own cares
B) the newcomers may bring new ideas for activities, building may be restored and local labour may be employed
4.

2
a) A greenfield site is an area in the rural urban fringe which has not being built on, Brownfield sites are abandoned or unused industrial sites
