Keywords
Urban change - changes that occur in a city due to its growth or decline
Place-specific details - facts and figures which are particular to a place
Cultural mix - in population, a community of people from different backgrounds with their own beliefs and traditions
Common misconception
Pupils can fail to include place-specific details when responding to questions or giving information about places.
Information about a place should always be supported by specific evidence such as a piece of data or a specific location.
Exploring the Albert Dock and other areas mentioned on Streetview would bring the case study to life.
