Why Study Cities?

What reasons can you think of?More and more

people live there

We live in one of the world’s biggest

cities

Manila is rapidly changing

Manila is facing challenges as it

grows and changes

People plan cities to try and avoid some

of the problems

Feeding a city is difficult

The world is governed by cities

Cities are arguably the most important places in a country

As cities change so do the people that

live in them

Cities can learn lessons from each other

How do you solve a problem like Manila?

Our new module!

Megacities

• These are places in the world with a population of more than 10 million people!

• There are currently 29 of these places on Earth.

• Can you name any of them?

Where is

your

megacity?

Describe the distribution of the world’s megacities

• ‘Describe the distribution questions’ ask you to identify and describe patterns on a map.

• On world maps you should look for:– Clusters – areas where there is lots of something

– Blank spaces – areas where there is no or little presence of something

– Differences between continents/hemispheres

• What can you see on our megacity map?

Describe the distribution of the world’s megacities

• Writing frame for a describe the distribution question:

1. General overview

2. Specific Details

3. Any anomalies (exceptions to the general overview) [do not include if no anomalies]

Describe the distribution of the world’s megacities

Detailed Writing frame for this describe the distribution question:

• The distribution of the world’s mega cities is (even/uneven). The vast majority of the world’s mega cities are located in the continent of __________.

• Of the 29 megacities in the world ____ are in Asia and of these 5 are in ________ alone. There is only 1 megacity in the continent of _______ which is __________ in ___________. The Americas contain ___ megacities. There are ____ in the USA, ____ ______ in the east and _____ __________ in the west. Europe has ___ megacities _______, _________, __________ and ___________.

Describe the distribution of the world’s megacities

Specific Writing frame for this describe the distribution question:

• The distribution of the world’s mega cities is (even/uneven). The vast majority of the world’s mega cities are ….

• Of the 29 megacities in the world ____ are in Asia and ……..

Describe the distribution of the world’s megacities

Specific Writing frame for this describe the distribution question:

• The distribution of the world’s mega cities is uneven. The vast majority of the world’s mega cities are located in the continent of Asia.

• Of the 29 megacities in the world 17 are in Asia and of these 5 are in China alone. There is only 1 megacity in the continent of Africa which is Lagos in Nigeria. The Americas contain 6 megacities. There are 2 in the USA, New York in the east and Los Angeles in the west. Europe has 4 megacities London, Paris, Moscow and Istanbul.

Review and Improvement Time

• How can we improve our answers?– Have you described an overall pattern?– Have you got numbers of cities?– Have you used names of continents?– Have you used terms like even/uneven

distribution?– Have you named specific countries?– Have you named specific cities?
