Manchester is located in England in The MIDLANDS,
             right in the centre of Britain, shown on Diagram 1. Manchester
             has a population of about 450, 000 and a land size of 40,000
             square metres. As you can see from Diagram 2 which is a base
             map of Manchester, the form of this city is a core. (A core is
             where settlements are clumped together in the middle and
             situated randomly around the sides.) The reasons for this Core
             formation is that the river Mersey is located in the centre of the
             city and the topography of the land is resemble flat with a few
             rolling hills here or there. Because of the flat relief it is easier
             for a city to expand and to build more infrastructure. Also
             because of the river and major roads accessibility is high into the
             city. Due to the accessibility of the river it provides small boats
             to sail to Liverpool and export cotton around world, which is the
             main production industry in Manchester.
             As you can see from diagram 3 which is the Land use
             model, Manchester has a lot of residential settlements ( which
             are in yellow) and commercial settlements (in pink). The
             commercial settlements are situated near the river and main
             roads for easy access to the city. The small brown square is the
             Industrial area. The main industry in Manchester is the huge
             cotton factories. Lastly the grey areas are the transportation
             systems such as airports, train and bus routes.
             All these areas and systems are in the urban part of Manchester,
             but if you look at the land use model you see residential
             such as the dark green area on this map which is forest. The
             white squares are Barren Land which were caused by mining
             back in 17-1850 and nothing has been able to grow or produce
             There are 3 major zones in Manchester: - The Industrial
