GCSE Edexcel B Case Studies with Exam Prep.
Topic 3: Challenges of an Urbanising World
With the examinations in mind, we've carefully selected case studies on megacities from countries with contrasting levels of development, providing a detailed synopsis of the location in question.
Each Case Study has been chosen for spec relevance, with countries representing a range of UN Human Development Indicator classifications.
The Exam Prep is concentrated on the specification points and question types which call for the use of specific case studies – perfect practice in the lead up to exams.

As well as understanding the human factors at play, these geography case study allow you to introduce synoptic links from physical geography topics into your teaching by comparing locations at either end of the development spectrum.
Give your students a deep understanding of the urban world through the study of a specific megacity, learn about the interactions between people and place, and the differing effects that urbanisation will have on developing and emerging populations.

Brilliant, the appearance, layout, and content were all really well thought out. It follows the specification really well and ticks all of the boxes that this case study needs to as well as being in a straight forward and logical format which makes navigating around it really simple...
It's a popular case study, and yet I've not seen a resource put together this well on it. It meets the exam board requirements brilliantly and includes practice assessment materials too!
I love this resource, the information included is relevant and extensive. The suggested answers are clear to understand and follow for students. The exam preparation section is very clear and is well laid out, enabling the quick collection of information [and] the extension question section is great - particularly for those aiming at grades 8/9 as it encourages thinking around the topic.
