A World Becoming Urban
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 and one advanced, with 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.

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.
A knowledge organiser stores a unit and is revised from afterwards; this is meant to be on the table while the work is happening.
