Social opportunities associated with urban growth
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can describe how urban growth creates social opportunities in Jakarta.
Key learning points
- There are social opportunities associated with urban growth in Jakarta.
- Urban growth creates access to services such as health and education.
- Urban growth creates access to resources, such as water supply and energy.
Keywords
Opportunity - a positive feature or benefit that improves people's lives, such as access to clean water, jobs, healthcare or education
Access - the ability people have to make use of essential services such as water, electricity, healthcare and education
Common misconception
Rapid urban growth only creates problems for city residents.
While rapid growth does create challenges, it also creates opportunities such as improved access to services (healthcare, education) and resources (water supply, energy).
Teacher tip
Use the Geogrpahy Visualiser’s satellite view to explore different parts of Jakarta, e.g. the CBD, port area, kampongs and newer suburbs. Pupils can annotate patterns they notice (dense housing, commercial areas, green spaces) and link these to opportunities and challenges.
