Question 4

d. Explain one possible physical factor and two possible human factors that can affect the pattern of residential development in a post-industrial city such as Den Haag. [2+2+2]

Answer 4

Flat land is preferred for large-scale housing projects due to lower construction costs. This leads to more extensive development in flatter parts of the city, while uneven terrain may have sparser development.

The cost of land significantly impacts residential patterns. Areas with high land value such as the CBD may see more high-density, luxury housing developments

The location of former industrial sites can influence residential development. Areas from old industrial sites may be more desirable due to better air quality and less contamination.
