- Urbanisation
- developed/ developing country
- Developed country = stable, rich + lots of services + resources. Developing countries (LICs) = in the process of getting to that point.
- developing countries = found in hot environments + Western Asia - Bangladesh
- developed countries = richer countries, mostly located in Northern hemisphere
- Developed country = stable, rich + lots of services + resources. Developing countries (LICs) = in the process of getting to that point.
- measure development from
- death rates
- employment rates
- average salaries
- crime rates
- homelessness rates
- calorie intake
- quality of housing
- education (reading+writing)
- running water
- richness of countries
- population
- quality of water/education/life
- human welfare
- social well being
- rural/urban
- urban
- more employemnt
- man made/built infrastructure
- higher population/busy
- expensive
- noisy/crowded
- varied employment
- pollution
- densely populated
- more buildings/shops
- lots of skyscrapers
- congested roads
- more transport
- not a lot of greenery
- rural
- greenery/natural environemnt
- lower population
- better + cleaner
- cheaper
- quiet
- jobs - agriculture, farming
- less air pollution
- sparsely populated
- minimal infrastructure - roads, facilities, buildings, utilities (water, electricity)
- lots of space
- urban
- global population growth
- 1900s = population started growing rapidly
- by 2050 = estimated population = reach 10 billion
- devloping regions = higher population rate
- total population since 1700s = increased nearly x10 (2050)
- urban growth: urbanisation
- urbanisation = growing population of world's population who live in cities
- 2 key causes are:
- 1. natural increase(more births than deaths)
- 2. migration
- population of urban getting bigger
- movement of people into urban area
- process by which population of country becomes more urban + less rural
- causes towns + cities to grow
- area becoming more 'urbanised'
- 2 key causes are:
- increase in % of people living in urban areas
- 21st century - more people living in urban areas than rural areas
- urbanisation occurred on big scale in N-America + W-Europe in 18th + 19th century due to Industrial Revolution
- new technology was deployed on mass scale in form of factories + manufacturing plants which attracted people in with varied employment opportunities
- 1950s - trend started developing in LEDC's as countries started to industrialise + global corporations relocated their factories to exploit cheap labour + lax health/safety/environmental regulations
- industrialisation in LEDC's meant new forms of employment available
- 1950s - trend started developing in LEDC's as countries started to industrialise + global corporations relocated their factories to exploit cheap labour + lax health/safety/environmental regulations

- urbanisation occurred on big scale in N-America + W-Europe in 18th + 19th century due to Industrial Revolution
- 21st century - more people living in urban areas than rural areas
- urbanisation = growing population of world's population who live in cities
- global urbanisation
- continent outside Europe, N-America + Oceania which has highest % of its population living in urban areas is South America
- population increasing in Africa(fastest growth) + in countries/continents nearest equator - LICs
- population decreasing in N countries due to slower population growth
- two main factors that affect population change:
- 1. birth rate - number of live births per 1000 people 2. death rate - number of deaths per 1000 people
- difference between birth rate + death rate is called natural increase
- high natural increase occurs if BR is high + DR is low
- to find natural increase: BR - DR = NI
- to find 'rate' of natural increase: (BR - DR)/10 = NIR%
- 1. Bangladesh: BR 22, DR 13 BR - DR = NI 22 - 13 = 9 +0.9%
- 2. Germany: BR 8, DR 10 8 - 10 = -2 -0.2%
- 3. Uganda: BR 47, DR 13 47 - 13 = 34 +3.4%
- 3 locations = different NI/D because Uganda - less aware of contraception than Germany, Germany - developing country, Bangladesh - low NIR as developing in areas such as healthcare
- to find 'rate' of natural increase: (BR - DR)/10 = NIR%
- to find natural increase: BR - DR = NI
- high natural increase occurs if BR is high + DR is low
- difference between birth rate + death rate is called natural increase
- 1. birth rate - number of live births per 1000 people 2. death rate - number of deaths per 1000 people
- two main factors that affect population change:
- population decreasing in N countries due to slower population growth
- developed/ developing country
