iGCSE Geography Edexcel - Topic 6. Urban Environments - BUNDLE

This bundle provides full coverage of Topic 6 Urban Environments, bringing together the three core sections of the specification: Growing Urban Populations, Challenges in Cities, and Making Cities Sustainable. It is structured to move students from understanding urban growth, to analysing urban issues, and finally evaluating sustainable solutions.

The Growing Urban Populations unit establishes the foundations of urban geography. Students examine global patterns of urbanisation, the causes of rapid urban growth, and the development of megacities. There is a clear focus on how and why cities expand, alongside the processes driving rural–urban migration and natural increase.

The Challenges in Cities unit develops this further by exploring the social, economic, and environmental issues associated with urban growth. Students analyse problems such as housing shortages, congestion, pollution, and inequality, with a strong emphasis on how challenges vary between cities in different parts of the world.

The Making Cities Sustainable unit focuses on decision-making and evaluation. Students assess a range of strategies designed to improve urban environments, including planning, infrastructure development, and sustainable urban initiatives. There is a clear emphasis on costs, benefits, stakeholder perspectives, and long-term sustainability.

Across the bundle, resources are aligned closely to the Edexcel specification and structured to support progression from knowledge to application and evaluation. Lessons include case studies, data interpretation, exam-style questions, and structured tasks to develop confidence with command words and extended responses.

This bundle is suitable for full topic delivery, revision, or targeted teaching of individual sections within the Urban Environments specification.
