Challenges created by urban change: environmental
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can identify how urban change has led to environmental challenges for Liverpool and use place-specific detail to evidence the problems.
Key learning points
- Urban change has led to challenges with industrial and residential dereliction such as deterioration of buildings.
- Urban change has led to challenges in the redevelopment of brown and greenfield sites to meet housing demand.
- Urban change has led to challenges in waste disposal due to low rates of recycling.
- The environmental challenges have been and continue to be addressed by the Liverpool City Region local authorities.
Keywords
Dereliction - when a building or structure is abandoned and becomes dilapidated
Brownfield site - land that has been used and abandoned, mainly in urban areas that awaits redevelopment
Greenfield site - land, often rural or on the edges of urban areas, which has not been built on before
Common misconception
Greenfield sites are quicker and cheaper to develop as they have not been built on before.
Greenfield sites may take longer to develop and be more costly as everything has to be built from scratch including raod networks.
Teacher tip
Get pupils to conisder how suitability for redevelopment of brownfield sites is assessed. They could be prompted to think about drainage, transport infrastructure, demographics, facilities such as schools and medical centres. Which of these do they think should be given highest priority?
