Contemporary urban environments
infoWhy this? We study this topic to understand how urbanisation is changing the world and shaping the way people live. It explores how cities grow and develop, and how this creates social, economic and environmental challenges such as inequality, pollution and sustainability. Students examine how urban areas differ across the world and how factors like wealth, culture and planning affect people’s quality of life. The topic also looks at how cities are managed and improved, focusing on sustainable development . t helps students understand the importance of cities in modern society and prepares them to evaluate solutions to real-world urban issues, including how to make cities more sustainable and fair for the future.
scheduleWhy now? We study this in year 13 as it builds on earlier knowledge and develops higher-level skills, allowing students to analyse complex urban issues and apply their understanding to real-world challenges and sustainability.
