Know the causes, patterns and characteristics of urbanisation in MEDCs, particularly the UK.
Learning Activity
Go to this website and work through the interactive guide. As you go through, make sure you watch all of the videos about different aspects of urbanisation in the UK - it will help if you have your own headphones!
Make some brief notes from each page using the page titles as a series of sub-headings:
~ The Industrial Revolution
~ Housing conditions
~ The 1960s
~ Building quality
~ The Inner City
Homework
1. Read the article 'Life in Kibera' which describe the effects of rapid urbanisation in LEDCs (another case study for you).
2. Have a go at the exam question about shanty settlements (you can mark this yourself using the markscheme provided).
3. Read the article '19th Century Nottingham' which describes the urbanisation of Nottingham. Produce a timeline of the key events - try to restrict yourself to one side of A4.
