Using the image below, what do you think it is showing?�

Criteria:

Use key terms throughout.
Include at least 3 differences.
Include facts and statistics.

Extension: Explain how this might relate to urban land use.

This is the Burgess Model - This model is based on the idea that land values are highest in the centre of a town or city. This is because competition is high in the central parts of the settlement. This leads to high-rise, high-density buildings being found near the Central Business District (CBD), with low-density, sparse developments on the edge of the town or city.

Topic 3 - Challenges of an Urbanising World

Title: Urban Land use

Re-cap from last lesson

What is counterurbanisation?
What is urbanisation?
What type of countries experienced deindustrialization first?
What countries may not be experiencing high levels of counter-urbanisation?

Learning Objectives

To describe the Burgess Model.
To Explain the characteristics of different urban land uses.
To assess the factors affecting urban land use.

Challenge Activity

DO NOW: Work on your own to answer these questions in full sentences in your book.

What are the four / five areas of the Burgess Model?

Past (since 1980) and current global trends in urbanisation, how it varies between global regions, and future projections of global urbanisation.

The role of geology, past tectonic and glacial processes (glacial erosion and deposition) in the development of upland (igneous and metamorphic rocks) and lowland (sedimentary rocks) landscapes.

Characteristics and distribution of the UK’s main rock types: sedimentary (chalk, carboniferous limestone, clay) igneous (granite), metamorphic (schists, slates).

Info about about rock types Different landscapes created by different rocks - card sort and table
Tectonic and glacial landscapes - pair task and teach

The challenge activity could be more inventive

These questions should be based on known misconceptions

Teachers should edit these to be relevant to their groups needs adding scaffold for some students where appropriate

Factors affecting land use… Pg 37

Study the information below:

Rank the factors affecting land use in cities from 1-4 (1 the most significant, 4 the least significant). Justify and explain why you ranked the top and bottom factor the way you have.
Explain how typical land use on the edge of a city is influenced by accessibility and cost (4)

Extension:

Explain one way that planning regulations may influence land use in cities
