Lesson details
Key learning points
- Aughton is a rural village easily accesible from Liverpool.
- Aughton has experienced economic and social changes as a consequence of counter-urbanisation which began in the 1950s.
- Counter-urbanisation led to social changes in Aughton to do with its total population and population structure.
- The demand for homes in the area has led to a pressure on housing affordability.
- The affluence of the area has led to high-end restaurants and increased visitors have put pressure on the area.
Keywords
Counter-urbanisation - the movement of people away from a city and into the countryside, which may lead to a reduction in the city's population
Social change - to do with people individually or as a community
Economic change - to do with money and wealth
Common misconception
Counter-urbanisation is responsible for all population change in a rural area.
Population change is a balance of inflows and outflows. Migration is one of these and counter-urbanisation is a process of migration but will not be responsible for all population change in an area.
