  • Building types and building height (in number of storey)
  • Ground floor retail services and restaurants types

Summarise your observations on Map 2.

Helpful hints:

You will draft your data collection on the draft map sheet provided. Later you will organise and annotate your observations on Map 2. Map 2 is the only page that will be graded. A score will be awarded for:

  • The accuracy of data collected;
  • The design of a classification scheme; and
  • Clarity of presentation.

Attention should be paid to the target customers of specific shops/ restaurants as well as to whether clusters exist. If so, where and why do they occur? This information is important to the test that follows.
