Flashcards in Urbanisation And Global Population Growth Deck (12):
1
What do you need for a place to be sustainable?
1) technology
2) information
3)employment
4) goods and services
5) capital (money)
6) people
2
Links between rural and urban
1) infrastructure
-rural transports foods to urban for sale
-roads linking
2)food
-crops and livestock in rural
-intensive practices (farmers markets) closer to urban
3) resources
-minning in rural
- urban consumes a lot
4) work force
-educated young people live in urban
-'escape the city life'
-seasonal influx for agriculture and tourism in rural
5) environment
-national parks in rural
-import areas for rural and urban people
6)wast management
-happens on rural hinterland
-waste generally disposed of in rural locations
7) expansion of rural functions
-rural urban fringe has many activities but residential areas usually replace this
3
Australias population growth
1) prior to european settlement
-300,000 to 750,000 not including aboriginals
2)after European settlement
-coastal settlements
-80 years to reach 1 million
3)gold rush
-influx of people from around world
4) agricultural expansion
-cheap land
-transport networks established to stop loss of population after gild rush
5) after federation
-stricter immigration and emigration
-the white Australia policy
6)post war growth and manufacturing
-higher birth rates, migration from war
-when the rural settlements established
7) minning expansion
-large influx of immigration and economy
-urban centers established near mine sites
8) economic restructuring
-fall in rural population due to small farms combining into big efficient farms
-less money spent on rural transport
9) emergence or regional centres
-most of the country now loves in urban centres
-improvements to infrastructure
-economic independence between urban and rural places

4
Economists factors of Australian population
1) larger the urban area the higher no. And type of functions associated with it
2)functions are aboe to locate where the threshold population is
5
Environmental factors
1) climate
- areas with good climate creates good agriculture and living conditions
2) landforms
- flatter land makes building easier
3) soil
- fertile soil influences the location of rural communities
6
External morphology
1) simple model
-square due to flat topography
-doesn't apply to cities
2) complex
-influenced by factors eg site and situation
3)multicellular
-dissected into smaller parts
7
Internal morphology
1) CBD
-high rise (expensive land)
-POD
-high day, low night pop
2) IMZ
-lots of land use mix
-changes frequently due to invasion and succesion
3)residential zone
4) OBD
5) RUF
-urban sprawl
-urban shadow effect
6) industrial zone
-agglomeration
8
Cultural influence on morphology
-most moderen urban development driven by ecoomy
-industrial sites disposed of to encourage local empoylment
-changed by what we value (land, car ect)
9
Accessibility and land use influencing morphology
-the closer to the centrr the higher the cost
-development will follow roads
-limited availability
10
Site influencing morphology
-early Australia = flat land and grid like pattern
-engineering and construction improvements=more urban sprawl
11
Changing characteristics of rural and urban
1) age and gender
-push and pull factors
-20-39 in urban, 50 and older urban
2) cultural characteristics
-2015= 60% of Australias pop growth was from migration, 88% settled in capital cities
3) socioeconomic
-rural communities more disadvantaged
-fifo increased rural pop
