1.
Why are Milton Keynes, Peterborough and Swindon growing rapidly? (list as many answers as you can)
They are small towns and it
is easy to start
development works.
The political leaders are also
more focused in the development of the
city.
These towns were the chosen locations for expansion by the government in
1950 to 1960.
They are all on motorways connected to
London and have decent train
links.
They are in between big and developed cities; Milton Keynes
is in between London and
Birmingham. Swindon is in between London and Bristol and Peterborough is near Cambridge.
2.
Why might
their growth strategy be ‘mad’ ?
Their growth strategy might be
regarded mad because their is rapid development and less
planning as the place is cheap big companies are establishing their
offices there, more constructions, more
immigrants everything is making the
place bit more chaotic.
3.
What do you
think - is it a good strategy to
continue with? (be ready to
state your reasons)
Development is always a good strategy, but it should be done in a
planned way.
4.
Would you
live in any of these three towns? (list the reasons why or why not)
I would definitely live in any of these towns because the first and foremost reason is it is cheap as it is a developing there
are more opportunities to work
and settle down.
The
reasons not to live in these towns
are there are less recreational
areas , no night life, no
big or renowned colleges or
universities, less means of transportation which
might make life a bit hard.
