Figure 3: Urban transect data from the inner harbor waterfront moving inland

Sampling Site123456789
Distance from waterfront (m)015030045060075090010501200
Building height (storeys)81510523120
Main land useMCCMRRIRO
Architectural eraIVIVIIIIIIIIIIIII-

Key for Main land use:

  • M = Mixed-use (primarily commercial ground floor with residential above)
  • C = Commercial/Office
  • R = Residential
  • I = Commercial Industrial
  • O = Open Space

Key for Architectural era:

  • I = Pre-1914
  • II = 1914–1980
  • III = 1980–2010
  • IV = Post-2010 (modern redevelopment)
  • - = No building present

Using the data in Figure 3, what conclusions can be reached about building and land use changes along the transect from the waterfront?
