Description

This unit teaches pupils about the development, importance and characteristics of Jakarta, an emerging country. Pupils will study the opportunities and challenges associated with the growth of the city, considering issues such as housing, services, the environment and sustainability.

Pupils can build on their knowledge of global urbanisation to develop a deeper understanding of the processes and patterns in an emerging city/NEE. They can contrast Jakarta with their earlier study of Liverpool. Knowledge gained can be used in the subsequent unit on energy resources.
