How?

7. Why move to the City? (Push and Pull)

Mechanised farming reduced jobs in rural
Population growth in rural puts stress on food supply

8. HIC v LIC (See handout) In simple terms
HIC urbanised slowly in Victorian times ( ). They moved when factory jobs became available in the industrial revolution. People moved to many urban areas. Movement was steady and fairly well managed.
LIC urbanised rapidly from 1950 onwards. They moved for work as MNC relocated to their countries for cheap labour, and the rural areas began to decline. Movement was mainly to one main PRIMATE city and was unplanned and unmanaged.

9. MDC - Manchester
Manchester was a relatively small town until the onset of the Industrial revolution. The Cotton Industry and mechanisation of factory work meant that huge numbers of workers were needed. These came from the surrounding rural areas. (Between ). After this time, Manchester became a centre of industry and steadily grew until 1920 when growth slowed and population became more stable.
1800 – Population 95,000
1850 – 400,000
1900 – 450,000
2000 – 440,000

10. LDC – Lagos (Nigeria)
Until 1950, Lagos was a small City in Nigeria. From 1955 onwards, rapid growth occurred. At this time the oil industry boomed as did investment from foreign companies. As jobs grew in the city, the countryside was ravaged by flood, drought and civil unrest. His forced people to flee to the city of Lagos where they remained. Birth rate is high so population grew both from migration, and natural increase.
Growth is about 8% per year
1960 – 600,000
1990 – 5.6 million
2010 – 10.5 million
2015 – 12.4 million???
2050 – 37.2 million????????

11. Natural Increase Death rates fall due to…. Better sanitation
Access to water
Better access to medical care
More money so better food
= Population growth

12. Megacities A Megacity is a city with over 10 million people.
Due to migration and natural increase, many cities in poorer parts of the world are now passing this 10 million threshold
