Ed-Excel B: Urban World 8 - Top Down Development - Rio - GCSE

This is a full 1 hour GCSE lesson that investigates top down development through an urban case study of Rio De Janeiro. The lesson is part of a unit covering urban change and challenges on the new Ed-Excel B spec, though it could easily be adapted to other specifications or graded down for KS3.

Learning Outcome 1 - 'I understand the advantages and disadvantages of government led top-down strategies for making Rio more sustainable.'


This lesson covers the following themes:

- Urban challenges and context for development in Rio
- An overview of top down development strategies
- An exploration and evaluation of 3 top down case studies in Rio

Ease of use is the aim, so the lesson includes a compact presentation with instructions and guidance in the notes section below each slide, it also includes referenced, differentiated handouts with printing instructions and is of course, proof read.

Please feel free to leave a review :)

Happy teaching!
