Geography: How can London Solve its Housing Crisis? KS3- Urbanisation - Population - Gentrification A review would be amazing! This unit is created in line with my personal passion for urban challenges and sustainability. This unit is framed around the varying challenges London faces in terms of housing, enabling learners to consider cause, effect and response. It is hoped the pupils will then be more equipped to understanding both London and the UK’s growing housing crisis. This Unit is my favourite to deliver and been streamlined over the last two years. Happy to answer questions and any feedback welcome… thegeographyshoporiginal@gmail.com SoW: L1: How geographers manage the challenges of urban population? L2: Why London becoming overpopulated? L3: How does London respond to a housing crisis? L4: (Assessment) How do we save London’s house crisis? L4.5: Feedback L5: Does London belong to Londoners any more? L6: Summative Independent learning (Computers) It is worth noting that some of these lessons require two lessons to be delivered.

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for the new specification Unit 2A: In this lesson we look at the increasing number of the global population living in urban areas. We start with a quick quiz on global populations and a video to put global population increase into context for the pupils. We then look at how urbanisation varies around the world by plotting data on a graph. The pupils then describe the trends they have found. We then look at a map of the urban populations around the world and the pupils can tackle several different questions depending on ability. We then discuss how these patterns might be explained. We then answer a GCSE-style question looking at the percentage of people living in urban areas on different continents using a bar chart. The pupils have guidance on how to answer the question if needed. We finish with a plenary quiz where the pupils have to find the countries with an urban population of over 50%. In a nutshell lesson includes: Quiz starter Video clip Graph plotting exercise with questions Map interpretation task GCSE-style question using graph with guidance Plenary quiz. Hope this saves you some valuable planning time. https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/markthegeographer
