Figure 6a: Urban land use change at the rural-urban fringe of Westwood City

Map of Westwood City showing the urban sprawl. The central urban core is surrounded by an established Green Belt. Outside the ring road to the east, a new 'Eastern Business and Retail Park' has been developed on agricultural land. To the south, a new bypass road runs alongside a large housing development ('Oaklands') currently under construction on greenfield land. To the north, a former industrial gravel quarry is marked as being converted into a recreational country park with a lake.

Using Figure 6a, describe the changes in land use taking place on the edge of Westwood City.
