WHAT THIS WEBSITE WILL FOCUS ON
This term in Geography I have been studying a number of Geographical issues that affect Australia. The issue of Urban Growth and Decline is especially important to understand. I have created a website containing approximately 5 pages using the website weebly.com.
My website will focus on the following geographical issues:
* Urban Decline- changes within a city causing activities to move elsewhere, leaving former factories and warehouses areas abandoned and derelict
* Urban Sprawl/Suburbanisation- the creation of new low-density suburbs on the fringe or outer edges of a city
* Urban Renewal/Gentrification- the rejuvenation of older urban areas which had fallen into decay. The areas are refurbished often by younger generations, changing former warehouses and industrial areas into residential, retail and office areas
* Urban Consolidation- the redevelopment of parts of cities, using high-rise apartment complexes and villa developments with a view to achieving higher density living
It will also focus on another world city also experiencing urban growth and decline (New York).
This part will include the following issues:
* Location- world and country map
* Issues Faced- (pollution and energy efficiency)
* Causes of these issues
* Individual, group or government involvement to remedy these issues
* Bibliography
