Students from a town in southern Malawi wanted to do an investigation of the Central Business District (CBD) of their town. The town had a commercial centre which was unlike the CBD of a city in an MEDC. There were no high-rise buildings and few large shops. Most shops sold low order goods which people bought frequently. The students decided on the following hypotheses: Hypothesis 1: The commercial centre of the town is near to the market. Hypothesis 2: Pedestrian flows are highest in the commercial centre but vehicle flows are lowest there.
