  1. Parents Evening • Bring your coursework with you!!!

  2. Cities in LEDCs • To recognise the scale and pattern of worldwide urban growth • To understand the characteristics of LEDC cities • To recognise the problems faced in LEDC cities • To consider some of the solutions to these problems

  3. Scale of worldwide urban growth • Where are the world’s major cities located? • Where will they be located in 2015?

  4. Where were the largest cities to be found in 1950? • Where are the largest cities located now? • Where will the largest cities be located in 2015?

  5. Come up with five questions (with answers) about this graph

  6. Notes • Rapid growth in rate of urbanisation • Urban population trebled between 1950 and 1990 • Most of this growth in LEDCs – in cities near the tropics • Over 50% of ALL people now live in a city • Growth of millionaire cities • in 1900 there were only 2 (Paris and London) • Over 300 modern millionaire cities • Ten largest cities over 10 million in size (megacities)

  7. Question • Describe the changes in rank order of the world’s largest cities (6) • 2010 • Tokyo (28.7 m) • Mumbai (24.3) • Shanghai (21.5) • Lagos (20.8) • Sao Paulo (20.1) • Jakarta (19.2) • Mexico City (18.2) • Beijing (17.8) • Karachi (17.6) • New York (17.3) • 1970 • New York (16.5 million) • Tokyo (13.4) • London (10.5) • Shanghai (10) • Mexico City (8.6) • Los Angeles (8.4) • Buenos Aires (8.4) • Paris (8.4) • Sao Paulo (7.1) • Moscow (7.1)

  8. Mark scheme • Level 2 (3-4 marks) • Basic description of order – e.g. in 1970 New York is top and in 2010 Tokyo is top. May not mention changing type of city in list. May use figures. • Level 3 detailed (5-6 marks) • Detailed use of place and figures as well as an understanding of types of cities involved e.g. more LEDCs in 2010 list than in 1970 list

  9. Cities in LEDCs • Rapid growth since 1950 • Rates of over 20% per year, due to • Rural-urban migration • High birth rates among young urban population • Concentration of industry and modern economic activity attracting labour and migration (pull factor)

  12. Problems of living in an LEDC • Case study • Watch the following video about Rio’s favelas and take notes • Make sure you • Locate the study area • Describe the problems you see or are told about • Describe the solutions offered

  13. Rocinha, Rio • What problems did you see? • What are the solutions offered?

  14. Solving the problems in LEDC cities • Dragon’s den • Using the handout you will each represent an organisation charged with solving the problems of Brazil’s urban spaces • You must pitch to the dragons • Detail the reasons behind your pitch (the problems you attempt to solve) • What your pitch entails • How much it will cost
