Chorleywood is a village near London whose population has increased steadily since the middle of the nineteenth century. The map below shows the development of the village.Write a report for a university lecturer describing the development of the village.

The map depicts how a village named Chorleywood constructed over a 126-year period. It can be taken a closer look at the stages in the development of both new inhabited areas and transport route which occurred over four periods.

Before new settlement could take place in 1868 onwards, the developer of Chorleywood started to build two Main roads from the east to the northwest and the north to southwest of the map in 1868-to-1883 year period of development, covering a small area along Chorleywood Park and Golf Course located in village centre. Once this embryonic development had been done, in 1909 Railway as the next transport route was taken to this area. This railway runs from the west to the east of the village. Indeed, the 39-year development program of the horizontally shaded area around the station had been accomplished as well.

A more detailed look at the map shows that between 1922 and 1970, the darkly shaded area was established in south-southwest of the Chorleywood Park and Golf Course, perhaps reflecting the fact that this second mega-project was a more enormous than its backward path. Then, in 1970 Motorway came third after the railway in development of transport route in the east of the map.

Interestingly, although there were no transport routes which had been built after 1970 onwards, the developer of Chorleywood showed an astonishingly intricate project: five diagonally shaded areas, geographically connected to main busy freeways, built from 1970 to 1994.
