                                                      1. Yes, but not as drastic as expected. Broadmead responded to the development of Cabot Circus and has improved. This is to keep up with the shopping centre in terms of sales.
                                                      2. To what Extent does Cabot Circus enhance the retail experience of shoppers?
                                                        1. Does enhance retailing experience!

                                                          1. Diversity index shows broadmead has a wider variety. Land use bar graph shows all types of land use, apart from florist and proffesional services. These could be outside the CBD.
                                                          2. How do shoppers perceive the CBD?
                                                            1. A desireable shopping city centre with two well known shopping developments. Questionnaire shoed people were divided between which area they prefered.
                                                          3. Evaluation
                                                            1. Further Development
                                                              1. Different data at different intervals (e.g 4 seasons)
                                                                1. Seasonal figures make a difference? ( like Christmas)
                                                                  1. Look at previous revenue figures to see if CC has brought something to the area.
                                                                    1. Look at development of Broadmead since 2008. This would show how the high street is competing with the shopping centre and what its doing to achieve that
                                                                    2. Background info

                                                                        1. Worked with other students to get more accurate results (e.g Questionnaire)
                                                                          1. Pedestrain count- Hard to keep track in really busy areas.

                                                                                1. Isopleth- Difficult to accurately draw, but good visual representation,
                                                                                2. Analysis

                                                                                3. Other
