ED-Excel B: Urban World 4 - Population, Urban Growth & Function - GCSE

This is a full 1 hour GCSE lesson that covers population and spatial urban growth through a case study of Rio De Janeiro. The lesson is part of a unit on urban change and challenges on the new Ed-Excel B spec, though it could easily be adapted to other specifications.

Learning Outcome 1 - 'I understand how population growth has affected the pattern of spatial growth and changing urban functions and land use in Rio de Janeiro.'

This lesson covers the following themes:

- Urban growth
- Urban function
- Land use and change
- Economic change
- Regeneration
- Mapping; satellite images

The lesson looks at the factors that shaped Rio in the first place focusing on place, space and scale.

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!
