Types of Land Uses
• What colour was most prominent on the previous slide?
• The land uses do not all appear evenly.
Types of Land Uses
• Specific land uses can be incredibly varied. In Canada, harsh climates have led to indoor shopping malls being built.
• And at that, those indoor malls have taken on extraordinary shapes and sizes!
Types of Land Uses
• As cities grow, they expand onto surrounding rural land, contributing to the loss of productive farmland and natural habitats.
Types of Land Uses
• The Golden Horseshoe Greenbelt has been established to protect land from urban development in southern Ontario.
