GCSE Geography Knowledge Mat — Urbanisation (PDF)
Why cities are growing so fast, who gains and who loses, and what actually works when a city grows faster than it can build. Push and pull factors and natural increase kept distinct; then the two cities the specification requires — one emerging, one advanced — and the pattern behind both. The chain runs from process to policy and then to how you judge the policy, which is where the evaluation marks are. Six terms to define, a worked exam-style sentence, and the misconceptions that cost marks.
Everything else this site has for Geography: Geography teaching resources
One purchase covers the school that buys it. Print it, copy it, hand it round your department. Not for passing to other schools or uploading anywhere.
One landscape A4 page on one topic, led by the photographs rather than the headings. It carries why cities grow, Lagos as an emerging megacity, London as an advanced-economy city, and from process to policy — then the vocabulary, a worked exam-style sentence and the misconceptions that cost marks.
Every image on the sheet is a real archival or scientific photograph, not an illustration and not AI-generated. Each one was checked against its own licence template rather than a label, and the running foot names every creator, states that the images have been cropped and adjusted for print, and links the licence — so the sheet can be photocopied for a class and stay compliant. Nothing is reproduced from a past paper, a textbook or a specification.
Sold as a single page because that is what it is. A knowledge organiser stores a unit and is revised from afterwards; this is meant to be on the table while the work is happening.
- Written to The DfE subject content for geography, section 19, and the topic as AQA 8035, Pearson Edexcel B 1GB0 and OCR B J384 set it. Every photograph is a sourced image, licensed for reuse and credited on the sheet
- Intended for geography teachers — on the desk during the lesson, not a student revision guide
