Inequality and urban deprivation in Leeds

Recognising inequality and urban deprivation in major UK cities is made easier with the colour A3 resource included with this lesson. There is a starter activity which uses photographs from two separate areas of Leeds and encourages students to identify differences. The main activity offers a range of detailed information taken from censuses and other sources to provide the opportunity to recognise inequalities in housing, education, health and employment across the city. An exam question is included to check understanding in the final phase of the lesson.

This resource is aimed at the Urban Challenges unit of AQA GCSE geography course, but could easily be adapted to suit other geography courses.
