Presentation transcript:

What is an Urban Area? A BUILT-UP AREA SUCH AS A TOWN OR CITY

What is Urbanisation? Urbanisation =Urbanisation = a process where an increasing proportion of the population lives in towns and cities (and there is a reduction living in rural areas).

What is a mega city? Name the mega-cities below Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto, Japan Toronto, Canada Manila, Philippines Austin, Texas Mumbai, India (formerly Bombay) Frankfurt, Germany Jakarta, Indonesia Tokyo-Yokohama, Japan Dublin, Ireland New York, United States Sao Paulo, Brazil Buenos Aires, Argentina Mexico City, Mexico Lagos, Nigeria A city with a population of 10 million people or more.

Imagine you live in a rural community in the Philippines…. What would you want to do? What are your options in life at your age now?

Why have megacities emerged? 1. Economic Development: Possibility of better opportunities in the city for health, jobs and education. 2. Population Growth: Increase in birth rate/decrease in death rate + better quality of life = people live longer 3. ‘Economies of Scale:’ Businesses can save money by locating close to eachother. (Low transport costs!) 4. Multiplier effect: Prosperity may attract more prosperity.

How has the average line of latitude for the worlds largest cities changed since 1950? The latitude of the largest cities has moved south. The most rapidly growing cities are now in developing countries

Why are most rapidly growing cities (and megacities) now in developing countries?

Why has the line of latitude moved south? OR: why are most rapidly growing cities now in LICS/MICS? Rapid industrialization has already happened in the HICS: most people already live in cities! Their growth has slowed UK Lagos, Nigeria
