Landscapes have become homogenized (uniform in activities, structure, styles of

construction and architecture)

Factors influencing landscape

Where in the world am I?

To consider

• More rural landscapes are homogenized due to agro industrialisation

• Major tourist destinations are increasingly alike • Transport systems are the same: Airports,

underground mass transport, similar road signs, ring roads, multi lane arterial roads.

• Industrial landscapes are increasingly alike – think science parks, business parks, industrial areas.

Homogenisation or glocalisation?

• Find images of London, Tokyo, New York and Mumbai

• Look for evidence of homogenisation and glocalisation by annotating the similarities and differences
