  1. Inward And Outward Movements IB SL

  2. Which Way? There are 2 different types of movements... • Centripetal Movements: Movement of people towards a centre (both push/pull factors). • Centrifugal Movements: Movement of people away from a centre (both push/pull factors).

  3. Centripetal • Rural To Urban Migration. • Gentrification. • Re-Urbanisation/Urban Renewal.

  4. Rural To Urban Migration • The movement of people away from the countryside to towns and cities. • This is important for LEDC’s and NIC’s because people believe that they will be better off in the urban areas. • This movement occurs due to peoples perceptions and ideas of push and pull factors.

  5. Gentrification • This is the reinvestment of capital into inner-city areas. • This is meant to improve residential areas, brownfield sites, contaminated land, derelict or underused industrial buildings, and anywhere with a potential for redevelopment. • House prices rise resulting in local people not being able to afford the increased prices. • These people tend to move out and younger people take their place.

  6. Re-Urbanisation/Urban Renewal • Revitalising urban areas. • An attempt to move people back to these areas.

  7. Centrifugal • Suburbanisation. • Counter-Urbanisation. • Urban Sprawl.

  8. Suburbanisation • The outward expansion of towns and cities. • This is largely due to the creation and improvement of transport systems. • Trains, Trams, Buses, More roads etc have allowed the expansion of towns and cities.

  9. Counter-Urbanisation • Reasons why people leave large urban areas and move to towns and villages in the countryside. • High land prices. • Congestion. • Pollution. • Crime. • Lack of community. • Declining services.

  10. Urban Sprawl • The uncontrolled growth of urban areas at their edges. • The growth of population overcomes the rate at which urban development occurs thus resulting in housing problems in some places. • If there are green belts then urban areas are limited to growth.
