THE RISE OF CITIES RHS-WORLD GEOGRAPHY

How cities started Humans began as hunters and gatherers- wandering about, hunting and foraging for food. Then, about 10,000 years ago, humans learned to control their environment. People began to cultivate the land and domesticate the animals. These two activities formed the action known as agriculture. Humans began as hunters and gatherers- wandering about, hunting and foraging for food. Then, about 10,000 years ago, humans learned to control their environment. People began to cultivate the land and domesticate the animals. These two activities formed the action known as agriculture.

People could now grow and raise their own food and live in one place. No longer nomadic (wanderers), settlements began and soon cities developed. This event of 10,000 years ago is called the Environmental Transformation.

Human settlement and population began to grow as the food supply stayed reliable. Human settlement and population began to grow as the food supply stayed reliable. Urban settings became prevalent in Asia, Africa, and Europe. People migrated towards these areas. Urban settings became prevalent in Asia, Africa, and Europe. People migrated towards these areas. (“urban” means dealing with a city) (“urban” means dealing with a city) LOOK AT THE POPULATION DISTRIBUTION MAP- THE DARKER RED SHOWS HEAVY POPULATION

Why Migration Occurs PUSH FACTORS (negative reasons for mass movement OUT of an area) **CONFLICT/ WAR **CONFLICT/ WAR OVERPOPULATION OVERPOPULATION LACK OF EMPLOYMENT LACK OF EMPLOYMENT FAMINE FAMINE RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION AGRICULTURAL DECLINE AGRICULTURAL DECLINE SLAVERY SLAVERY ETHNIC CLEANSING ETHNIC CLEANSING GET OUT!!!!

World population is distributed unevenly, but look where we HAVE settled: In the Northern Hemisphere In the Northern Hemisphere In the Temperate Zone In the Temperate Zone Along the coasts of continents Along the coasts of continents

Site and Situation: Where and Why towns are born Site: Actual geographic location of a city. Related to a physical feature (Absolute Location). The city is where it is BECAUSE of the physical geography of the landscape. (on a hill, river, delta, etc.) Situation: the location of a city with respect to other features, regions, resources, and transport routes (Relative location). The city is where it is BECAUSE of human interaction 9on a trade route, railroad line, crossroad, etc.)

Urban areas and functions of towns may be settled for "SITE" reasons- physical location of town = Paris, France; London, England; Denver, Colorado; Hong Kong, China Or "SITUATION" reasons- relative location & reasons for settlement = Istanbul (Constantinople), Turkey; Mecca, Saudi Arabia; Xi'an, China; Capetown, South Africa

“Site” City- why??? Because it’s located at the confluence of two rivers (physical geography) What type of city is this???

What type of city is this? The purple dots represents two trade routes. The city is built where the trade routes intersect. That makes it a “situation” city because this city was built up due to human interaction

The origins of towns change over time from single function (trade or agriculture) to multiple functions (trade AND headquarters AND industry AND etc.) City settlements (urbanization) lead to problems related to human mobility (think of I-95 at 7:00 am) social structure (what may we see in New York streets?) and the environment (think of the 4 de-s) Patterns of urban (city) development occur according to a concept called "Site and Situation" Urban areas have a powerful influence in shaping the world's many different cultural, political, and economic systems. Can you think of a city that resembles this?

USING YOUR BOOK: Find some cities in each numbered region

Using your book, which cities are these?

“Humans Settle The Earth” It’s a fact that humans are social creatures. We cannot remain isolated, we must be with others. For thousands of years, humans settled the earth and formed specific groups based on family and tribe. These groups evolved into villages and neighborhoods. Over time, specialized groups formed for cultural, economic, and even political reasons. Humans today are divided into regional districts, counties, voting districts, and even school attendance zones. This reading best describes which concept? International Organizations Spatial divisions Cultural Diffusion Site & Situation

You can show information about population and settlement of areas by examining a specific type of chart or graph called a “population pyramid”

Working with Population Pyramids

Understanding Population Pyramids Population pyramids provide a quick way to assess how rapidly or slowly a nation’s population is growing. It can tell us if a country is developed or developing, or if it has a high standard of living. (“2 WORLDS”)

The top of the pyramid shows older population The top of the pyramid shows older population The bottom of pyramid shows the younger population The bottom of pyramid shows the younger population Pop. Pyramids show male ages to one side and female to another side Pop. Pyramids show male ages to one side and female to another side Pop. Pyramid is basically a bar graph. Pop. Pyramid is basically a bar graph. Understanding Population Pyramids

Use the pyramids below to help understand. Pyramid #1= A broad base of children under the age of 15, is typical of a rapid pop. Growth, like, Africa, Asia & South America Pyramid #2= is typical of a stable population Pyramid #3= Shows a population that is stable and on the decline. (like Italy) Pyramid #1Pyramid #2Pyramid #3

Population Pyramids 1.What type of pyramid does China have? 2.What does that tell us about China? 3.How many men are there between the ages of 70 and 74? 4.What type of Pyramid does Djibouti have? 5.What can we assume about their country? 6.What happens to each new generation in Djibouti? Pyramid type #3 It is getting its pop under control ~ 11 Million Pyramid type #1 Developing world, poor conditions It gets larger USING THE THREE TYPES OF PYRAMIDS FROM THE PREVIOUS SLIDE:

This is a high birth rate, low life span, probably poor county. Notice the clear “triangle” shape to the graph. Would this be representative of Canada or Nigeria? You’re right….Nigeria would be considered a “developing world” country But…. you’ll have to wait until next time to learn about the “2 Worlds”… heh heh heh
