City and town centres are changing in many major cities. Land prices are increasing in city centres as more people move into cities and suburbs. The increased use of cars has impacted city centres, leading to more pedestrianized areas. People are also changing their travel and using public transport more. Major cities are now open 24 hours. The central business district (CBD) is located in the city centre and contains high-rise buildings, expensive land, shops, offices, banks, cultural buildings, and transportation hubs. It is centrally located to be accessible to workers and the public. Past models have shown land values decrease further from the CBD, with high density near the centre and lower density on the outskirts.IB Geography: Drainage Basins: Channelisation

Channelisation involves altering the natural geometry of a watercourse through hard engineering techniques. It is done to increase channel capacity and prevent flooding, provide straighter channels for navigation, prevent erosion, and reclaim wetlands. Specific channelisation methods include resectioning to widen and deepen channels, realignment to straighten meandering rivers, bank protection through structures, lined channels with concrete, containment within pipes and arches, vegetation clearance to remove obstructions, and dredging to remove sediment.Choose Geography

**Exploring Our World: A Journey Through Geography**
In today's geography lesson, we embark on an exciting exploration of the diverse landscapes, cultures, and phenomena that shape our planet. From towering mountain ranges to vast oceans, and bustling cities to remote wilderness areas, geography provides us with a lens through which to understand the interconnectedness of our world.
Our journey begins by examining the fundamental concepts of geography, including the Earth's physical features, such as landforms, bodies of water, and climate patterns. Through interactive maps, videos, and hands-on activities, students will gain a deeper appreciation for the forces that have shaped the Earth's surface over millions of years.
Next, we delve into the rich tapestry of human geography, exploring the cultural diversity, economic activities, and political landscapes that define different regions around the globe. From the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia to the modern-day megacities of Asia, students will learn how human societies interact with their environments and each other.
Throughout the lesson, we emphasize the importance of geographic skills such as map reading, spatial analysis, and critical thinking. By honing these skills, students will not only better understand the world around them but also become more informed and responsible global citizens.
As we conclude our lesson, students will have the opportunity to reflect on the interconnectedness of our world and consider the implications of geographic factors on contemporary issues such as climate change, migration, and sustainable development.
By the end of this lesson, students will have gained a newfound appreciation for the complexity and beauty of our planet and will be inspired to continue their exploration of geography both inside and outside the classroom. Join us on this exciting journey as we uncover the wonders of our world!GA Pilot GCSE Pilot #1

By 2030, 60% of the global population will live in urban areas, with Asia's urban population rising from 1.4 billion to 2.6 billion. There will be close to 30 megacities with over 10 million people, including Istanbul, Guangzhou, and Bogota. Many cities, especially in developing areas, face problems like sprawling slums, lack of infrastructure, and pollution as populations grow rapidly. Solutions require better planning and more sustainable practices around resource use, transportation, and waste management.Global Groupings

The document discusses various ways that countries and economies can be grouped on a global scale. It examines economic groupings based on development levels and types of economies. Political groupings like trade blocs that countries form through international agreements are also covered. The impacts of transnational corporations on both host and source countries are summarized, noting they can bring both benefits like job creation but also costs such as environmental impacts and profits leaving the host nation.Global Networks
Global Networkstotal
Ìý
Global networks come in many forms, including business, communication, transport, production, and political networks. The document discusses the growth of internet usage globally and some key factors related to development and connectivity. It also describes global hubs as highly connected places that other locations seek to connect to, often hosting large transnational corporations. Creating connections for poorer countries requires infrastructure investment, economic reforms, stable societies, human capital development, and attracting foreign direct investment. One example discussed is China's success from economic growth and reforms. The document also summarizes the One Laptop Per Child initiative and some criticisms of the project.On The Move

Globalisationtotal
Ìý
Globalization refers to the increasing economic interdependence between countries through rising trade and financial flows, as well as the spread of technology. Developments in communication and transportation technologies have reduced distances and facilitated globalization over recent decades. This has led to growth in world trade and the rise of large transnational corporations operating globally. While some nations and people have benefited from these changes, globalization has also increased economic inequality between wealthy and poor countries.Climate Change & Causes
Climate Change & Causestotal
Ìý
Climate change occurs over short, medium, and long timescales. Short-term climate change involves global warming over decades, while medium-term changes occurred over thousands of years according to ice core and fossil records. Long-term changes shaped climate over hundreds of thousands to millions of years. Recent climate change has led to 0.5°C warming globally since 1970 due to increased greenhouse gas emissions from human activities like burning fossil fuels. This enhanced greenhouse effect from carbon dioxide and methane emissions is trapping more heat in the atmosphere and causing unprecedented global warming according to temperature and Arctic sea ice records.Global Hazards Patterns
Global Hazards Patternstotal
Ìý
The document discusses various natural hazards that can occur globally and in the UK, including earthquakes, flooding, drought, tropical cyclones, volcanoes, and landslides. It provides details on the causes and impacts of these hazards, maps showing risk areas, and examples of major disasters in recent decades. It also compares the natural hazard risks facing the Philippines and California coast regions.Launch Of New Gcse Spec
