This is the typical landscape of Surrey it has the Fraser river and Boundary bay surrounding it. As you can see its really flat and has a lot of trees. This landscape is good for building because its really flat and buildings stand well in flat surfaces. One problem a landscaper needs to deal with is cutting down all the trees to build buildings. Some things that help surrey grow as a city is that it has major highways that connect it to other cities like Burnaby, Vancouver, Langley and Richmond.
Region
Surrey is in the Western Cordillera. The Western Cordillera is very rocky and has a lot of mountains because of the Pacific plate sub-ducted the lighter North American plate. The Western Cordillera has a flat coastal part where major cities like Vancouver and Surrey take place. The mountains limits the expansion of these flat cities because they are too high to build highways and railways through them
