Identify which category the following belong to and be ready to explain your answer • All of these cities are million cities • Delhi is the only ‘mega city’ (16,700,000) and has the fastest growth rate of any megacity in the world (4.6% per year!) • Brussels is the ‘Capital city’ of the European Union... Just over 1 million but an important world city. • Newcastle Upon Tyne is the smallest million city in the UK, with a population of 1,100,000

  6. Urbanisation –p114-15 blue bookObj 2: To describe the causes (push and pull) of rural-urban migration • What is urbanisation? • What causes urbanisation? • (create a definition plus a table of push and pull factors) • What is urbanisation? Urbanisation is the increase in the proportion of people living in towns and cities. • What causes urbanisation? Urbanisation occurs because people move from rural areas (countryside) to urban areas (towns and cities). This usually occurs when a country is still developing. The UN predicts that by 2030 60% of the world's population will live in urban environments.

  7. Obj 2: To describe the causes (push and pull) of rural-urban migration • Work in pairs • One partner read through and complete the comparison worksheet for Los Angeles (pages 110-115 Digby et al) • One partner read through and complete the comparison worksheet for Mumbai (pages -121 Digby et al/p116-117 edexcel text book) • Together agree three similarities and three differences between the process of urbanisation in Los Angeles and Mumbai

  8. Obj 3: Describe and explain the global pattern of megacities, including regional variations in growth rates • Urbanisation is closely linked to development – areas currently experiencing the fastest urbanisation are NICs and LEDCs Watch the following films. Urbanisation lagos Welcome to Lagos As you watch take notes on: • Key facts and background information • Challenges and problems faced (video 1) • Opportunities provided by urban living (video 2)
