What do you think Urbanization means?
If the world is becoming more urbanized, what do you think this
means for rural areas?
Some quick facts about urbanization
3 billion people—half the world's population—live in
cities.
Where do the other half live?
In 1800, only 2% of people lived in cities and towns.
Why were there so few people living in cities in 1800? Only
2%!What did they do for work?
Cities are growing for 2 reasons.
One reason is the natural increase. How do we calculate this?
What is the second reason?
Two-thirds of all people will live in cities by 2050.
What kind of consequences will this have on cities?
Almost 180,000 people move into cities each day.
Where are these people coming from? What types of countries do
you think this is happening in? Name 3 countries where you think this may be happening.
Over the next 15 to 20 years, many cities in Africa and Asia
will double in size.
Do you think any of the negative effects of population growth are similar to the ones
related to urbanization?
Which ones?
Look at the next graphs. Describe what they show and how they
are different
Pay attention to the differences in the increases.
What about Shanghai?
Why do you think Shanghai is growing?
Is Shanghai the land of opportunity for many people?
When we talk about people moving/migrating to cities, we
often talk about push/pull factors. What do these mean?
Describe the push and pull factors you think that your
parents felt when they moved to Shanghai
Describe the push and pull factors you think rural people in China feel when they move to
Shanghai
In what ways are these push/pull factors similar or different?
How could we find out why people move to Shanghai?
We have to ask people!!!!
We are going to make a survey to find out why people move to
Shanghai!
What kinds of questions do you think you will ask to find out:
Why people move to Shanghai
If /how people benefit from moving to Shanghai
What issues do you think you will face when making your
survey?
Look at the following tips for making a survey.
Make your questionnaire short enough (but not too short)
What does this mean? How can it be too short/long?
Use simple words
Why would you want to do this?
Start with interesting questions
What might happen if you don’t do this?
Use a rating scale if it is helpful
What do you think a rating scale is? Why might you want to use
one?
Try to avoid open ended questions
What is an open ended question?
What is the problem with open ended questions?
Brainstorm some simple questions that you think will help you to determine:
Why people move to Shanghai
Is Shanghai living up to people’s hopes?
