This resource is a case study of Rio de Janeiro, this study is needed for the part of the GCSE AQA Geography specification which states 'A case study of a major city in an LIC or NEE'. (Rio is an NEE)
When making this resource I followed the specification exacly, so that the study includes everything that you must know. This includes:
• the location and importance of the city,
regionally, nationally and internationally
• causes of growth: natural increase and
migration
• how urban growth has created
opportunities:
• social: access to services – health and
education; access to resources – water
supply, energy
• economic: how urban industrial areas
can be a stimulus for economic
development
• how urban growth has created
challenges:
• managing urban growth – slums,
squatter settlements
• providing clean water, sanitation
systems and energy
• providing access to services – health
and education
• reducing unemployment and crime
• managing environmental issues –
waste disposal, air and water pollution,
traffic congestion.
And an example of how urban planning is improving
the quality of life for the urban poor
The document is in a table format, which I found useful when revising, as this layout made it easier for me to remember the facts and the section that they are relevant to.
Please note that the blurred font in the preview image is for selling purposes only, the document will be perfectly clear when purchased.
