Centripetal or Centrifugal?
Push and pull factors causing inward and outward movement of
populations
This can help to explain people’s choice of movement
CORE LINK!
Centripetal Forces
• These are associated with the movement of people into the urban area.
• For each of the following centripetal forces, explain the process that encourages this inward movement.
Centripetal Forces – Rural to urban migration
Gentrification
Urban renewal
Centrifugal Forces –Urban sprawl
Suburbanisation
Counter-urbanisation
Task
• Suggest why processes of population movement are likely to vary between cities.
• In other words… why do some cities see centripetal movement, and others see centrifugal movement?
• Use any examples you know to backup your points.
Is there a link between natural increase in the population size, and the number of urban areas?
• Firstly, discuss what factors might influence a country to have a high (or low) natural increase in its population size.
• Then consider what indicators you could use to exemplify this.
• Finally, try to find a graphic that shows the link between natural increase and urban populations.
GENERAL PATTERN?
SO, WHAT IS A DRIVING INFLUENCE IN THE GROWTH OF GLOBAL CITIES?
Link it all together
• Look at some of the reasons why cities began to expand and spring up around the world, from 1955 onwards.
• What were the driving forces?
