Exploring the Concepts and Content in IGCSE and IBDP Geography
This is an interesting and radical deconstruction of how American suburbs are a short-sighted, inefficient, and community destroying piece of urban America. It is a thought provoking and critical video which really illustrates the flawed idea of suburban growth.
Below is the agenda I am using for my New York City infrastructure growth case study. It contains a bunch of resources I have looked up online from various websites. It corresponds to a syllabus point from the Urban Environments chapter from the IBDP Geography syllabus which reads:
Urban system growth including infrastructure improvements over time, such as transport, sanitation, water, waste disposal and telecommunications
Case study of infrastructure growth over time in one city
The picture used in the agenda and below is a mindmap of ideas created by my current grade 12 students about what they would expect to learn about NYC in this case study.
