This lesson is the first part of the major UK city you must cover in the new AQA GCSE specification. This lesson aims to cover the following element from the specification:

How urban change has created challenges:
• social and economic: urban deprivation, inequalities in housing,
education, health and employment
• environmental: dereliction, building on brownfield and
greenfield sites, waste disposal
• the impact of urban sprawl on the rural–urban fringe, and the
growth of commuter settlements.
