Open guideUrban issues and challenges
Why cities grow, the opportunities and problems of LIC/NEE megacities and UK urban change, and what sustainable urban living looks like.
The changing economic world
How we measure development, why it is uneven, strategies to close the gap, plus Nigeria as an NEE and the changing UK economy.
Rio de Janeiro
GCSE Geography NEE megacity case study of Rio de Janeiro: why it grew, opportunities and challenges, Rocinha and other favelas as lived places, and Favela Bairro-style upgrading rather than a misery-only story.
Lagos, Nigeria
GCSE Geography NEE urban case study of Lagos: explosive growth, Makoko’s waterfront settlement, Eko Atlantic as elite land-making, and inequality inside Africa’s largest city-region.
Urban change in Bristol
GCSE Geography UK city case study of Bristol: migration and economic change, inequality between neighbourhoods, Harbourside regeneration, and an evaluation that includes gentrification as well as cranes and cafes.
Sustainable urban living
GCSE Geography revision on sustainable cities: Freiburg and BedZED as named examples, social-economic-environmental strands, and practical strategies for congestion and urban waste rather than a recycling-bin slogan.
Measuring development
GCSE Geography revision on measuring development: what GNI per capita, HDI and infant mortality each capture, why one number always lies a little, and how to evaluate indicators in 6-mark questions.
Nigeria as an NEE
GCSE Geography NEE case study of Nigeria: oil and the Niger Delta, Lagos as the commercial hub, Shell and TNC controversy, regional inequality, Boko Haram, and why diversification is the development test.
Aid, fair trade and TNCs
GCSE Geography revision on closing the development gap: how aid, fair trade and TNC investment can each narrow inequality, and the critique (dependency, leakage, exploitation) you must fire in the same paragraph.
The changing UK economy
GCSE Geography revision on the post-industrial UK: deindustrialisation, the north–south pattern, science parks and tertiary/quaternary growth, with evaluation rather than a cartoon of a poor North and a rich South.
Global food security
GCSE Geography global food security: supply, demand, famine and malnutrition, the Green Revolution, biotechnology debates, and why calories on a map are not the same as people fed.
Water management
GCSE Geography water management: supply and demand, aquifers and reservoirs, the Colorado and Three Gorges as contested schemes, UK drought and hosepipe bans, and sustainable use.
Energy resources
GCSE Geography energy resources: fossil fuels, nuclear, renewables, energy mix and security, UK North Sea decline, Nigeria’s oil, and the geography of transition.
UK glaciation
GCSE Geography UK glaciation: Ice Age legacy in Snowdonia, Lake District and Scottish Highlands — corries, arêtes, U-shaped valleys, tourism and quarrying as human pressures on glacial landscapes.
UK resource challenges
GCSE Geography UK resource challenges: food, water and energy insecurity at home, regional inequality, import dependence, waste, and policy responses from net zero to the green belt.
Sustainable resource use
GCSE Geography sustainable resource use: reduce, reuse, recycle, circular economy, renewable transition, conservation, and judging schemes from BedZED to marine protected areas.
