Sydney - housing crisis

Prepared for the Eduqas GCSE Geography B 9-1 specification (and applicable to all other boards), with all resources provided and ready to teach straight away. My lessons are interactive and provide a variety of teaching and learning activities. This lesson is part of the ‘HIC Global Cities: Sydney’ scheme of work (available as a bundle) of fifteen lessons about Sydney.

This lesson introduces the concept of earnings/house price ratio. Pupils examine how economic prosperity has acted as a pull factor to international migrants, increasing Sydney’s population and increasing house prices. Students develop a chain of reasoning to explain this (and develop extended writing exam skills as a result). They then examine a range of attitudes held by different stakeholders to the impacts of the housing crisis in Sydney
