Question

In the conceptual diagram of the city given below, P, Q, R, and S refer to urban patterns. Among the choices given below, the correct association is 

• A. P-Satellite town, Q-Urban fringe, R-TOD, S-Central Business District
• B. P-Central Business District, Q-Satellite town, R-TOD, S-Urban fringe
• C. P-Urban fringe, Q-TOD, R-Satellite town, S-Central Business District
• D. P-Satellite town, Q-Central Business District, R-TOD, S-Urban fringe

Hint:

In urban planning, zones such as Satellite towns, Urban fringes, and TOD are planned around accessibility and transportation networks. Central Business Districts usually emerge at the core of cities.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

In the conceptual diagram:
- P represents a Satellite town located on the outskirts of the city boundary, generally connected via roads, providing residential or commercial space.
- Q represents the Urban fringe, which is the transitional zone between the city and its surrounding rural areas.
- R represents TOD (Transit-Oriented Development), located near the Metrorail Line, promoting high-density development around transit stations.
- S represents the Central Business District (CBD), which is typically the heart of economic activity in the city, containing commercial, retail, and office spaces.
Thus, the correct association is P-Satellite town, Q-Urban fringe, R-TOD, S-Central Business District.
