Example 1 - Examine the consequences of rapid growth in a named LEDC city.
E.g. Mexico City “There are too many people for the amount of land available & not enough housing for the people, so Mexico City people lived on the roofs of other houses. Squatter settlements form where people will build houses out of materials they can find. These are so numerous that they become out of control. The authorities cannot cope with the amount of people living there, and subsequently the amount of waste they produce. Whereas in some areas of Mexico City, the squatter settlements are built on hilly areas, the land becomes unstable and collapses, taking homes and people with it”.

Example 2 - With reference to specific examples, examine how the quality of life has been improved for residents in LEDC cities “Mexico City has tackled its traffic problem by the introduction of a scheme where cars with certain registration numbers cannot drive on certain days of the week, which reduces pollution and congestion. They are also spending £1m to extend the Metro line to carry 4 million/hr during rush hour, and improving the bus service to be more efficient, cheaper, cover a wider area, and hopefully reduce pollution from cars. In Cairo, they are managing the problem of housing provision for the expanding population, (2000 per week), by building satellite cities such as 10th Ramadan and Sadar City, (which will house up to people). They are also legitimising the illegal occupation of land, (in shanty towns and tombs in the City of the Dead), providing electricity to the area and increasing the number of green spaces in the city……”

Example 2 - With reference to specific examples, examine how the quality of life has been improved for residents in LEDC cities “……Providing clean water also decreases the spread of diseases such as cholera. They have also improved the sewage system via the Greater Cairo Waste Water Project. This is a drainage system to collect water and take it out to the desert to irrigate farmland. Cairo’s authorities manage the rubbish collection by licensing the Zabbalean people to collect, clean and recycle rubbish. In Curitiba, Brazil, they pay individuals to collect rubbish in carts and sell them to recycling companies. Public transport is comfortable and drivers are paid by the amount of km. they drive not by the amount of passengers, so they are encouraged to visit all parts of the city”.
