Jakarta, LIC developing city case study

In the GCSE AQA HUMAN Geography topic ’ Urban Issues & Challenges’, students are required to study an in-depth account of a city in a developing nation. Jakarta has a rapidly growing population due to it’s rapid industrialisation and high birth rate. These bring both opportunities and challenges. This introduction lesson to Jakarta looks at the infrastructure and why it’s connections with the rest of Indonesia and Asia make it a globally important city. Students could go on to study Jakarta in further detail in my other lessons, to find out about How Jakarta is attempting to become more sustainable and reduce it’s social and environmental challenges.
