Bring the causes, impacts and management of urban growth together in one city case study, with support for turning knowledge into developed exam answers.

Kuala Lumpur: The Case Study focuses on Malaysia’s capital, the city used throughout the Towns and Cities unit. It connects the reasons for its growth with the opportunities, challenges and management strategies that followed. Use it to consolidate the full unit or teach it independently as a named urban area case study.

What students will learn

  • The location and growth of Kuala Lumpur.
  • Why population figures vary according to the boundary used.
  • The economic, social and political causes of urban growth.
  • The opportunities and challenges associated with urban expansion.
  • The achievements and limitations of management strategies.
  • How to select relevant evidence and develop case-study answers.
