The given map delineates the layout of the city of Brandfield, including the location of two proposed sites (S1 and S2) for the construction of a new shopping mall.

Overall, the layout includes a golf course and park, a housing estate, a city centre, an industrial estate, a river, roads, and a railway.

S2, one of the proposed sites for the new shopping mall, lies in the north-east of the city, bordered by the railway and the road which span across to the north-west and north-east of the city, respectively. This road bifurcates at the south-west of the city centre which is at the middle, redirecting towards the north-east and intersecting with the industrial estate.

The other proposed site, S1, is positioned to the north of the city, adjacent to the housing estates. A river traverses the locale from the south-east to the north, dividing the area in half and serving as a central geographical feature. To the south-west to the north-west, a golf course and park provide ample green space for recreation and leisure.
