Year 7 Geography Homework: Term 2.
There are Physical reasons for choosing the site and situation for a
settlementGood farmland – Growing crops
Woodland – Building and firewoodNear water – Drinking and washing
On flat land – Easy to build onOn a hill – Protection
On dry land – No floodingNear a river – Transport and TradeNear a quarry – Stone for buildingSouth facing – Warmer in winter
Near the sea – Ports for trade
A settlement is a place where people permanently live.
The first humans were hunter gatherers and were always on the move, following their food. Once
humans learned to farm they began to build permanent settlements.
The site is the land a settlement is built on.
The situation is the land surrounding the settlement.
The Central Business District. (CBD) The oldest part of the settlement but now re-developed. The most
accessible part of the city. Shops, Offices, Civic buildings and business headquarters are found here.
Most large settlements began to grow during the industrial revolution. They
have similar features and grow and change in similar ways This can be
shown in a land use model.
Quality of Life - describes the general well-being of individuals, communities and societies.Quality of life of people varies between
different parts of a city due to many factors.Access to healthcareQuality of housing
Access to leisure and recreationLevels of crime
Educational opportunities and qualificationsThe quality of the environment
Income of the peopleAccess to jobs and employment
Noise and traffic pollutionAntisocial behaviour
People in places like Clifton often have a higher quality of life than people in places like Easton
The inner city industry. Built in the 19th century. Where factories were located in the industrial
revolution. Now re-developed with small businesses, housing, train and bus stations. Some
areas are still run down.
Inner city housing. Built in the 19th century. Lots of terraced housing, built for the poor workers in the old factories. Narrow roads as there were no cars. Many houses now demolished and replaced with
blocks of flats. The poorest part of the city.
The inner suburbs. Built in the 1940’s for a more wealthy population. Lots of semi-detached houses
with gardens, garages, and more open space. Roads designed for cars as people now owned them.
Council estates also built to re-house the less wealthy workers from the old inner city.
The outer suburbs. The newest part of the city. Larger detached houses with lots of open space near
the countryside. Built for wealthy commuters(people who drive to the city to work) Retail parks
are also located here because space is available.
Re-development is about improving run down or derelict areas of cities that
are no longer used. This improves housing, leisure and job opportunities.
Cities have many social and environmental problems that need to be overcome.
Traffic congestion – Makes people late for work or appointments and costs businesses money through delayed deliveries. It also causes air pollution.Crime – Makes people feel unsafe on the streets.Poverty – Some families struggle to make ends meet and live in poor quality housing.Rising house prices – Many young people can no longer afford to buy their first home.Homelessness – Thousands of people live rough on the streets.Dereliction – some parts of cities may be polluted, run down and vandalised.
Sustainable cities try to solve city problems using a range of strategies. For example;
Better public transportMore green spacesRecycling schemes
Cycle PathsBuilding affordable housing
Using more renewable energy sourcesRedeveloping run down areas
Bristol Harbourside has been re-developed from a run down and
derelict city port. It is now a mixture of modern flats, and places of leisure and
entertainment. It has created many jobs and leisure opportunities for the people of Bristol. It has also kept and
restored many old historic features and buildings, attracting tourists.
Cabot circus has been re-developed as a major new shopping area. It is
under-cover, pedestrianised and has many restaurants and a cinema to
create a pleasant shopping experience. This attracts thousands of shoppers ,
and has created wealth for Bristol and jobs for thousands of local people.
Bristol’ industry is changing. It is becoming a major high tech city.
It has the largest number of Silicon chip manufacturers outside of
California
14 of the 15 biggest aerospace manufacturers are located in Bristol
e.g. AirbusThis creates a range of highly skilled
and well paid jobs for Bristol’s people.
Urban sprawl is the spread of cities into the surrounding countryside. Bristol suffers from urban
sprawl because its rapidly growing population of 460 000 needs new housing. This caused problems
in the surrounding area e.g. Harry Stoke• Loss of green space and habitats• Increased traffic congestion on roads• Villages being engulfed by the city and losing
their character• Increased pressure on local schools due to more
children
