For Geography, this page helps you revise emergence of megacities in Section A: Urban issues and challenges. Focus on the key terms, the exam command, and a clear answer that matches the question. Key terms to check are megacity and urbanisation.
Key terms
- megacity: In Urban issues and challenges, megacity means a megacity is an urban area with a population of over 10 million people. This matters in Section A: Urban issues and challenges because it supports the learning objective to describe the emergence of megacities. Use megacity only in this subtopic-relevant sense so the definition stays concise, evidence-aware, and useful for AQA GCSE Geography 8035 revision.
- urbanisation: Urbanisation is the process by which an increasing percentage of a population lives in cities and urban areas.
Common trap
Misunderstanding Megacity Definition: To fix this, students should memorize the specific definition of a megacity and practice identifying examples that meet this criterion.
