Effects of population growth on spatial growth, functions and land use
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can describe how population growth has affected the pattern of spatial growth and changing urban functions and land use in Jakarta.
Key learning points
- Population growth has affected the pattern of spatial growth in Jakarta.
- Population growth has affected changing urban functions in Jakarta.
- Population growth has affected land use in Jakarta.
Keywords
Megacity - a city with a population of over 10 million people
Green space - open land with vegetation, such as parks, gardens, forests or wetlands
Kampungs - informal settlements in Indonesia. Homes are self-built, crowded together and may lack access to sanitation and electricity
Common misconception
All areas of Jakarta are experiencing the same kind of land use change and impacts.
Different parts of Jakarta are changing in different ways. West Jakarta is losing green space to malls and housing, East Jakarta is growing with factories and roads, South Jakarta has gated communities, and Central Jakarta is focused on business.
Teacher tip
GIS can help students see how Jakarta’s land use changed from 2000 to 2020. They can use maps to spot green space loss, urban sprawl, and link it to data like population or flood risk.
