See the last slide of the powerpoint for information on contents. Designed for an A Level class Geography class.

1. Define the following:
1. Urbanisation
2. Suburbansiation
3. Counter-urbanisation
4. Re-urbanisation

2. What is re-urbanisation
Define re-urbanisation
Identify the causes of re-urbanisation
Explore the different ways re-urbanisation can
take place
Determine the positive and negative effects

3. Re-urbanisation
“the process whereby towns and cities in MEDCs
which have been experiencing a loss of population
are able to reverse the decline and begin to grow
again. Some form of redevelopment is often
required to start re-urbanisation”
“movement of people into the city centre or inner
city as part of urban regeneration”

4. CAUSES?

5. • Movement of individuals or groups into older
housing and gentrification occurs
• ‘large scale’ investment programmes aimed at
urban regeneration – property led regeneration
schemes
• A move towards ‘Sustainable communities’- this
means that economically the city is sustainable
and can provide their inhabitants with a place to
work, live, reliable income, a reasonable quality
of life and opportunities to develop through
education and health provision.

6. Gentrification
• This is where housing is improved by individuals/ groups.
• Mostly affluent (those working in professional/managerial
jobs) who carry this out
• It is NOT supported by bodies but encouraged by housing
estate agents

8. POSITIVES NEGATIVES
Social mix of the area Local people on low
changes with more income find it difficult to
affluent afford housing
Increase in bars, Private rented
restaurants and services accommodation is sold off
and reduces
The residents have higher Friction between
purchasing power incomers and original
residents
Employment created

1.Location (think maps!)
2.History
3. Specific examples of gentrification (eg.
Cafes)
4. Remember keys facts and figures

10. What is re-urbanisation
Define re-urbanisation
Identify the causes of re-urbanisation
Explore the different ways re-urbanisation can
take place
Determine the positive and negative effects

11. What are the causes of re-
urbanisation?
Sketch them

12. This powerpoint was produced for a revision
lesson on re-urbanisation for an A Level class
doing AQA Geography.
