ENQUIRY C - VERTICAL ZONING

Aim:
In Enquiry A you investigated the ground floor land use of buildings in the CBD. What use is made of the upper floors of the buildings – retail, office, residential etc?

Hypothesis
Decide on a suitable hypothesis. Examples may include ….
As you move away from the centre of the CBD there is a reduction in the number of storeys in a building.
There will be more commercial use of the upper floors of buildings towards the centre of the CBD
Any residential use of the upper storeys will be found towards the outskirts of the CBD


Suggested methods
Mapping – take the classification table used in enquiry A and use it to map the use of first floor of buildings. Repeat the technique for subsequent storeys.

Annotated photographs to show vertical zoning both within the CBD and towards the outskirts and any possible changes.

the format for enquiry C will be the same as A and B:
aim
