Advantages and Disadvantages of greenfield sites

Advantages

  • Land is cheaper in rural areas
  • City expands allowing more space for population growth

Disadvantages

  • Once the land is built on, it is unlikely to be turned back to the countrysie.
  • Valuable farmland may be lost
  • Natural habitats may be destroyed
  • City expands resulting in an increase of pollution

Evaluation

It is better not to build on greenfield sites as they clean the air and keep pollution under control, which is hard as a city because it is always expanding for more housing and employment to balance out the workforce however it is also an advantage as there is more space for population growth. Although this is a good thing; it does come with consequences as valuable farmland may be lost which decreases the production rate making food more expensive.
