ENTRY TASK - HERE:
Skills - Study the graph below... describe what it shows.
NB: Three levels of description - identify on the illustration below.
- Overall trend;
- Significant sub-trends;
- Notable changes/exceptions
b. Compare the graph below to that you have described... notice the apparent difference in the pattern of change. Suggest reasons for this.
KEY TERMS:
Population - The number of human beings in a given geographical area.
Dense - Many people in a specific area (usually quantified as number per Km square - high density means that there are many people per km2)
Sparse - Few people in a specific area (usually quantified as number per Km square)
Distribution - Where people/populations are located. "Pattern" of distribution is frequently referred to in geography.
Physical Factors - Factors linked to the natural environment eg climate or relief.
Human Factors - Factors linked to human activity e.g. industry, resource accessibility, communications.
Note-making (See source sheets for illustrations). Yellow highlights indicates what to actually write when making notes (skills development):
The total population of the UK in 2019 was 67.6 million.
In 2019 it is estimated at 67.59 million
The graph above/below (Copy provided/add to your narrative) shows how it has changed since 1900 and how it is projected to change up to 2030.
We can see that by 2030, the UK population is expected to exceed 70 million (ie to grow by +2.5million in the next 11 years).
Now you decide what to write...
Population is unevenly distributed in the UK. 82% of people live in urban areas with 25% of those living in the SE and London. In contrast, many highlands are sparsely populated (eg Scotland and Wales are both remote and experience harsh climatic conditions). These are physical factors affecting the distribution!
These are human factors influencing distribution... note that minerals are classed as human in the sense that they are RESOURCES.
ACTIVITIES:

INTRODUCTION
Notes:
Traditionally, Bristol industries were closely linked to its port function. For example, cigarettes were made using tobacco imported from the West Indies (Triangular Trade) and Sherry from wine imported from Bordeaux in France. As the city centre ports closed, manufacturing here declined and warehouses were converted into flats or turned over to modern industrial uses.
Changes in industry are reflected in patterns of employment. In Bristol port job losses and falling employment in manufacturing have been largely replaced by expansion in the Tertiary Sector as shown below (see pp 170 of text).
ACTIVITIES:
1. Describe the employment structure of Bristol represented on the graph above (see also pp 170 of text).... remember industrial sectors!
(To help you... try estimating the percentage of employment in each sector).
Today, Bristol's unemployment rate is below the national average and it is a global centre for hi-tech industries.
2. Referring to pp 170, list the factors that have led to growth of quarternary/hi-tech sector.
3. What is the current percentage of people employed in the quarternary sector? (see graph pp 170)

ENTRY TASK:
Aardman Animation?
INTRODUCTION
Like most cities, the economy of Bristol has undergone change. The changes are as a result of, for example, changing technology, market demand, competition and labour factors. Bristol has, unlike many UK cities, been able to take advantage of change. Today its unemployment rate is below the national average and it is a global centre for hi-tech industries making it an attractive place for people and industry to locate.
In today's lesson we will be able to identify key changes and how they have contributed to Bs success.
KEY TERMS:

Procurement - the action of obtaining something.
Telecommunications - transmission of signs, signals, messages, words, writings, images and sounds or information of any nature by wire, radio, optical or electromagnetic systems ie using technology to communicate.
Infrastructure - basic physical and organizational structures and facilities such as buildings, roads, power supplies needed for the operation of an enterprise.
ACTIVITIES:
1. Using at least one of the key terms above, outline how it has contributed to Bristol's economic success (refer to specific examples).
2. Complete the questions 1 to 4 on pp 171 of the text (if not already done)
3. List the changes have taken place in Bristol and (for each) explain how they have been used to promote economic growth? (Highlight to reveal)
- Government decentralisation of key agencies such as defense procurement.

Suggest how the following image represents environmental problems in an urban area...
What problems do you think such decay would cause for people in Bristol?
Key Terms:
Decay - Breakdown or decomposition. A biological term that has been applied to Urban areas when they become old, run down and dilapidated... eg
Derelict - In a very poor condition due to neglect or disuse (see above)
Brownfield site - Urban site for redevelopment and construction.
Greenfield site - Previously undeveloped site used for commercial development.
Notes:Two key environmental issues face Bristol?
a. Dereliction of old buildings as industry has changed and older premises have become abandoned.
b. Urban sprawl as demand for housing has been fulfilled by building on the outer edge of the city.
From your reading of the text pp 174/175, answer the following questions:
1. Explain how/why each of the above environmental problems have developed.
2. What has Bristol done to address the two environmental challenges that you have identified?
3. The following site is being redeveloped for housing. Why would it be described as a "brownfield" site?
4. What problems might the development of such sites present?
(Consider what its previous uses might have included and what will need to be done before new construction can begin).

Creating a Clean Environment in Bristol
ENTRY TASK:
Complete Q 4 and 5 from last lesson... 15 minutes ??
INTRODUCTION
4. What problems might the development of brownfield sites present?
The re-use of brownfield sites presents developers with a number of problems. These include the necessity of demolishing pre-existing buildings, ground clearance to remove concrete and services such as drains and foundations, clean-up of sites that have been polluted by industrial waste to make them safe. In addition, designs of new buildings have to fit within potentially awkward spaces and they have to meet more stringent planning regulations for urban places. All of these factors increase the timescales involved and, most importantly for developers, they increase costs.
5. Apart from countering urban sprawl, what are the benefits for people living in Bristol of the development of brownfield sites?
The benefits for people living in cities of the development of brownfield sites is that this process helps to regenerate neglected and derelict areas of the city and thus make cities both more pleasant and safer to live in. This process may also increase the value of their own property and, because it involves attracting people and businesses back to the city centres, may improve their earnings and thus standard of living as well as quality of life.
Waste - Material left over or superfluous to people's needs and thus no longer needed or used.
Recycling - Collecting and reprocessing waste so that it can be used in a new way (Re-use does not involve the re-processing element)
Landfill - The process of disposing of waste that can not/is not recycled or re-used.
Composting - The collection and storage/processing of organic waste so that it is decomposed making it suitable for use as a fertilizer.
Energy Recovery - The combustion of waste or its gaseous emissions as a fuel.
ACTIVITIES:
1. Outline the waste and air pollution problems that Bristol believes it faces. Include statistics to support your response.
Despite Bristol's waste production per person being lower than the UK average (by 23%), the city is still creating over 500,000 tonnes of waste each year. Air pollution... ?
2. What does the city administration aim to achieve in relation to waste and air pollution? Present your findings as a diagram e.g. brainstorm or as a table.
The city of Bristol aims to reduce both its waste production and atmospheric pollution through the following strategies:
1. Reducing waste that has to go into landfill (by, for example, increasing recycling*).
2. Reducing household waste by a further 15%.
3. Increasing the volume of waste recycling to 50%.
3. How is the city dealing with the waste and pollution problems and how successful do you think the strategies have been. Give statistical evidence to support your answer.
Despite a population growth of 9% since 2000, household waste has fallen by 18%. Increased levels of recycling have been a major contributor to this. Improved recycling has been achieved by:
- Agreeing higher targets with household waste contractors (so they commit to increasing recycling).
- Education - Students in schools are taught about the importance of recycling and how to recycle more at home.
- Introduction of specialised kerbside collections and facilities for recycling different types of waste. This helps to separate waste which then allows recycling processes to be employed.
- Technological advances in recycling methods/systems and equipment.
Recycling has generated income through the reprocessing of waste because the waste essentially becomes a resource for subsequent production e.g. a reprocessing plant will create about 4.2 million litres of diesel p.a. by treating 6,000 tonnes of waste plastics.
The Avonmouth waste treatment plant treats 200,000 tonnes of waste p.a. Non-recyclable waste is incinerated and produces electricity to meet the needs of around 25,000 homes.
