They chose to study three areas: • Area A: an area of houses which were built around 1850 • Area B: an area of terraced houses which were built around 1920 • Area C: an area of houses and apartment blocks which were built when the area was redeveloped around 1990 The students investigated the following hypotheses: Hypothesis 1: The newer the housing area the better the environment. Hypothesis 2: Parking and traffic are problems for people living in all three inner city areas.
