Changes in the Rural-Urban Fringe
What do you think these mean? • • Urban Sprawl Green Belt Brownfield Site Greenfield Site
Key Terms • Urban Sprawl = Spread or expansion of the urban area into surrounding countryside. • Green Belts = Protected areas set up around cities to prevent urban sprawl. • Brownfield sites = area that has previously been built on – often old industrial areas. • Greenfield sites = area that has not previously been built on.
Reasons for Urban Sprawl • New Housing Estates • Out of town developments – such as shopping centres.
Why develop new housing estates out of town? New housing estates are developed at the edge-of-town because: • Land is cheaper (as further away from CBD) - means developers can build family-sized detached and semidetached houses - include bigger garages, gardens etc • Pleasant environment - less pollution than CBD • Close to transport links • Less crime than nearer the city centre • Local services - schools, health centre and shops • Close to CBD to commute

Out of Town Shopping Centres = Advantages and Disadvantages
The Doughnut Effect CBD SUBURBS
What is it? • The doughnut effect occurs when the commercial activity of a city becomes contracted around outskirts out of town shopping centres e. g. The Gyle in Edinburgh have become more common and shops in CBD have problems competing. • Chain stores like Marks and Spencer's have increasingly located in new shopping centres on the outskirts leading to the closure of high street stores or their reduction in size. This leaves a hollow or empty area in the middle of the city.
Summary • Due to the doughnut effect, shopping is increasing towards the outskirts of the city (with out of town shopping centres such as the Gyle). Meanwhile, shopping in the CBD is decreasing as shops close and move out to these out of town shopping areas – leaving a big gap in the middle like a doughnut.
Colour Code – Advantages and Disadvantages
The Gyle Centre Advantages • Don’t have to travel into busy city • Easy access = Close to M 9, New train station at Edinburgh Park – close to new housing estates. • Reduces traffic congestion in city/ less pollution (cleaner environment). • Cheap Land Rental = larger units, more car parking space • Room to expand • Pleasant Environment – indoors so sheltered. • Provides jobs away from CBD
The Gyle Centre Disadvantages • Could use up the Greenbelt land • Takes customers away from the CBD so shops there may close down. • Creates extra traffic on the edge of city. • Few specialist shops – mainly chain stores.
