Urban Land Use

6 Major Land Uses 1. Residential: homes 2. Transportation: roads, railways 3. Commercial: stores 4. Industrial: (eg. Food packaging plant) 5. Institutional and Public Buildings: schools, hospitals, churches, gov’t offices 6. Open Land/ Parks: vacant land, woodlots, cemeteries, fields

1. Residential Density (Low, medium & high density) Types of housing:

Two factors affect residential density: 1) cost of land: More expensive land = higher residential density (eg. Downtown) WHY? You need more people to live in a smaller area to pay for the price of the land. Lower land cost = lower residential density (eg. Suburbs) WHY?? You don’t need as many people to pay for the price of the land 2) Age of the neighbourhood Older neighbourhoods = high residential density They were formed before most people used cars, so people had to walk or bus to places. Therefore, places were close together (high density)

2. Transportation Made up of 3 parts: Vehicles Travel paths: highways, roads Terminal facilities: train station, subway/bus stations…etc

3. Commercial Centres Areas that buy and sell a small quantity to the local residents

4. Industrial Land Use Factories and manufacturing Storage warehouses Shipping centres

Other factors affecting land use

1. ZONING Bylaws: laws for municipalities (small localities) Controls the kind of development in an area Eg. You cannot turn your apartment into a small convenience store!

2. CLIMATE Cold cities like Montreal and Toronto build underground paths and shopping areas!

3. URBANIZATION Urbanization (noun) is when cities grow and grow and GROW! Urban Sprawl: growing urban areas (it is a type of urbanization which has a negative connotation). Urban areas spread too quickly, difficult to manage.

4. THE GREENBELT Protected natural area

Positives and Negatives of Urbanization creation of jobs; larger markets for businesses; better stores to shop at; more services available Negatives: more traffic congestion; more air pollution from traffic; loss of green space; loss of farmland
