GCSE Geography

• red zone = CBD 
• light green zone = cheap and medium priced old housing 
• dark green zone = modern factories 
• orange zone = expensive housing
• purple zone = squatter settlements
• yellow zone = high quality commercial spine developments 

developing city

both have a CBD in the centre surrounded by older settlements 

• the layout of developing world cities is much less regular than that of a developed world city
• land uses are less well-segregated for two main reasons:
• - planning controls are much weaker 
• - explosive growth has meant that newcomers take over any unused land for their homes . These people are called squatters ; squatter settlements consist of slum housing , which grows into shanty towns wherever there is enough land unused land within the city , or outside if not 
• the layout of developing cities therefor varys from city to city 
• unlike developed cities , developing cities have wedges 
• in developed cities the futher away from the CBD you are the more expensive the housing , however in developing cities expenisve housing from the edge of the CBD outwards in a wedge to the rural-urban fringe

• Nairobi , Kenya , Africa 
• New Delhi , India , Asia 
• Rio de Janiero , Brazil , South America

in a devloped city this zone contains expensive housing as it is further away from the CBD . Despite this zone still being further away from the CBD in many parts of a developing city , this zone is where the illegal shanty towns have developed , which is the cheapest housing .

• splits up 
• zones

squatter settlements zone

expensive housing zone and modern factories zone splitting up the squatter settlements zone

group of homes built illegally on land that is not owned by people living there

there is a lot of extreme poverty in developing cities and people are left to fend for themselves without financial support from the government .  The main reason why there is so much poverty is because there has been rapid urbanisation in developing countries due to a lack of job opportunities in the countryside , so people have moved to the city for jobs in the CBD where there are very low paid jobs such as shoe cleaning , but even this is better than nothing , howver it still means that people can not afford to buy or rent houses so decide to build their own but can not afford the materials needed to build the house so they use any scraps of material that they can find .

• in developing cities some of the land is used for modern factories , however in developed cities the factories are located in the inner city which tends to be run down therefor the factories are old and sometimes abandodned
• in developed cities some land has no use , especially in inner cities , there is derelict land around sidings , unused docks and canals ; in developing cities there is no spare land , any spare land is used for illegal squatter settlements 
• only developing cities have slums 
• rich houses in developing countries are in a wedge , in developed cities howver they are in the outer suburbs 

both have new and old housing and industry/factories

• a) CBD 
• b) inner city 
• c) inner suburbs 
• d) outer suburbs 
• e) rural urban fringe

in the centre of the urban area , around the historical core - in many cities this is a cathedral or castle

few people live in the CBD

• accesible 
• roads
• railway stations

traffic congestion especially in rush hour

• high 
• (which helps explain the many tall buildings built close together) . There is a lot of competition for space .

goods on sale

offices and shops , including department stores

concentration of skyscrapers and other tall buildings

• old housing 
• industry 
• decay 
• mixed

• high density terraced
• 3
• 4
• flats 
• badly maintained

factories and warehouses

derelict land

• 19th century terraced housing 
• industry
• main roads 
• canals 
• railways

• private
• rented

mainly ethnic minorities , students , older people and unemployed

amneties 

long straight roads 

high rise flats 

generally run down appearance 

• old docks 
• Docklands
• Docks

detatched because the density of the land here in the outer suburbs is lower than in any other zone of the city do there is mors space for larger homes with garages and larger gardens . Land is also cheaper in the outher suburbs so houses cam be built outwards (instead of upwards providing detached houses rather than high rise flates) at a lower cost than in any other zone of the city

purpose of that areas e.g. residential , industrial , port area

what it does , why its there e.g capital city , port , industrial centre

• outer suburbs 
• density of hosuing tends to be lower

largest

has grown outwards from the old ecntre across what was once countryside

• inter-war 
• semi detatched
• shopping parades
• modern 
• semi detatched 
• detatched

a residentail area surrounding the inner city , characterised by semi detatched houses and tree lined streets

the houses are good for many more years and virtually all the land suitable for building has already been used

are housing areas towards the edge of the city . Land here is cheaper and it's still close enough to commute into the CBD for work quite easily

In the UK and USA middle-class families tend to live in the suburbs , because it's a nicer area and there's less crime and pollution than in the inner city

right at the edge of the city , where there are both urban land uses and rural land uses . Here you tend to find fewer but larger houses

residential area towards the edge of the city , characterised by larger often detatched housing and modern housing estates
