This is a full 1 hour GCSE lesson that introduces the Burgess Model, urbanisation, counter-urbanisation, sub-urbanisation, de-industrialisation and regeneration through a case study of New York City.

Learning Outcome 1 - 'I understand that urban population, distribution and spatial growth change over time.'
