Briefly discuss problems with urban growth in LEDCs tackled? Students draw a spider diagram using the solutions to urban growth in LEDCs and their advantages and disadvantages. Students use Urban PDF and internet research to help.
Students explain how each solution would impact different groups of people. E.g. Local residents of Dharavi, Government, Developers/Planners and people from rural areas thinking of moving to Dharavi.

Kahoot quiz recap of how problems with urban growth be tackled in LEDCs.
Students given a role: developers/planners, residents, government and potential migrants from a rural area.
8 teams of 4 sudents. Students in same role groups research your role using the links provided on Edmodo. What does your role think is appropriate for Dharavi? Provide evidence for this. What questions do you think they would like to ask the other people? Do they want to develop Dharavi or keep it how it is? Is the source subject to bias? If so what? Any other points for or against redeveloping Dharavi.
Model debate using topic of interest with one of the students. Students switch into groups of 4 where each person has a different role and debate. Students only allowed to speak when they have the object.
Tell students what is really happening in Dharavi.
Students answer 2 (b) (ii) Describe how conditions in Urban areas are being improved in less developed countries. Use examples. (6 marks) (June 2011)
Review
Students responses to the Kahoot questions.
Watch the debates. Identify key points. Identify what went well and even better if during the debate.
Plenary
Students mark each others exam questions using the mark scheme. They have to explain what went well and even better if.
They have to come up with a feedback task to help their partner improve.

5. How are problems with urban growth in LEDCs tackled?
Site and service schemes
Councils provide building plots and materials. Residents build their own houses.
Council provides basic amenities
Councils provide plots and materials as well as putting a tap for water on each plot and a toilet for every 5 houses.
Councils provide partly finished housing
Houses are built to a basic standard and people are expected to finish them with internal doors, plaster, paint. This means the council can build more houses.
Improve rural areas
To try and stop so many people migrating from rural to urban areas for work. Charities might provide families in rural areas with a goat so the milk can improve their diet and dung can fertilise the ground for crops.
Bulldoze the slums
A cheap way to solve the 'slum housing problem' is to bulldoze the shanty housing down, as people living there have no legal right to do so.

6. What is really happening in Dharavi?
Dharavi image removed for copyright reasons
Murkesh Mhata is a American trained architect. His plan for Dharavi involves the construction of 2,800,000 square metres of housing, schools parks and roads to serve 57,000 families.
3,700,000 square meters of residential and commercial space for sale.
Local opposition to plans, because existing residents are due to receive only 25.0 square metres of land each.
Still not developed but lots of proposals.
Proposal by a Dutch team called ‘the game is on’ Wants the slum community to be a part of the plan.

Task 1: draw a spider diagram using the solutions to urban growth in LEDCs and their advantages and disadvantages. Use the Urban PDF and internet research to help you. You will need to use a double page on your workbook to do this.
Task 2: Explain how each solution would impact different groups of people. E.g. Local residents of Dharavi, Government, Developers/Planners and people from rural areas thinking of moving to Dharavi.

10. Task: What do you think is appropriate for Dharavi?
You will each be given a role:
Developers/ planners
Residents
Government
Potential migrants from a rural area thinking about moving.
Should be 8 teams of 4 people. Develop ideas in groups with the same role.
You need to research your role using the links provided on Edmodo.
What does your role think is appropriate for Dharavi? Provide evidence for this.
What questions do you think they would like to ask the other people?
Do they want to develop Dharavi or keep it how it is?
Is the source subject to bias? If so what?
Any other points for or against redeveloping Dharavi.
Switch into groups of 4 where each person has a different role and debate. You are not allowed to talk unless you have the object.

11. 2 (b) (ii) Describe how conditions in Urban areas are being improved in less developed countries. Use examples. (6 marks) (June 2011)
Level 1 Basic (1–3 marks)
Largely generic ideas which might focus on housing schemes or improving services. In some areas housing schemes have been set up to build better houses and piped water has been put into some areas. Limited use of examples.
Level 2 Clear (4–6 marks)
Clearer ideas with individual schemes (housing, water) or broader development schemes. Clear use of examples. In Sao Paulo there are government housing schemes and self-help schemes where improved housing is being built. In Mumbai old slums are being cleared and flats built for the poor. In these areas services such as water, electricity and drainage are included.
Use the mark scheme to proof read your partners work and give it a mark.
