1. Starter Categorise the population pyramids
Where along the continuum would you find these population pyramids?
Why?

3. Population structure varies from place to place and over time
Learning Objective:
To know the features of a population pyramid
To be able to understand how fertility and mortality rates and migration affect population structures
To be able to explain the impact of migration and population structure

4. Population Structure varies from place to place
Read the case study:
Compare the population densities of East Anglia and the Highlands of Scotland
Why do you think they are different even though they are both rural regions of the UK?

5. The Rural- Urban Continuum
Different areas have been identified based on journey times in minutes from London’s North Circular Road What factors could distort the rural-urban continuum?.

6. Socio-economic Status
Physical Environment
Function
Policies- Green belts
Socio-economic Status
Dwelling type and household size
Policies- Planning Permission
