it can prompt urban regeneration schemes in the cbd - i assume you mean advantages to the cbd

Employment opportunities, i'm doing the Trafford Centre as a case study so I'd say stuff like it was built on a brownfield site so technically didn't contribute to urban sprawl :smile:

I do indeed, let's just hope we get a question about the issues decentralisation causes..

What notes has everyone got for transport? Ive got basic stuff on how congestion/traffic issues came about, then management examples such as radial roads e.g M25 (and the consequent congestion on that, then the expansion of it..), then also car-sharing lanes in Birmingham (it is Birmingham isnt it?!). Bus lanes to encourage use of public transport. Then a more detailed case study of Manchester Metrolink.

Also, out of town retailing essay i'm planning it in my head currently!- is this ok?:
- Intro with causes of out of town retailing (e.g car ownership, introduction of warehouse style shops, change in shopping habits etc)
- Characteristics of out of town retail centres (link into my case study here)
- Positive impacts (jobs, waterproof, facilities, free car parks, alleviate congestion etc.)
- Negative impacts (takes retail focus away from centre... inner city decline etc)
- Then can I possibly bring in inner city retail centres as an example of solution to the problems? depends on the question I suppose.

Do I need to know much more for out of town retailing?

Hey, just wondering but if partnership led regeneration came up in June 2011, can they ask that again? I've revised property led, but not partnership? thanks :smile:

If out of town retailing comes up, what are the advantages?

The only ones I can think of are a reduction in congestion into cities due to serving a larger area, and the fact that they offer people a wider range of facilites (leisure also)....

positive x effect upon the area that it occurs in, incr in employment adds to this, often uses brownfield sites, employment in construction and running of the centre....

Yes as soon as you see re-urbanisation think 3 types: Gentrification, Property-led regeneration and partnerships between government and private sector. Property led is your UDCs and Partnerships are City Challenge. You'll need a case study for each. Plus LDC re-urb case study e.g Dharavi.

Unlikely it'll come up all in one question though if its in the structured qs bit, too much to talk about.

P.S exam is in the afternoon

Tomorrow morning? Questions please :colone:

I think it'd depend on what marks the question was... If you do the 40 Marker and it's on Re-Urbanisation include all three.

Where as a 7,8 or 10 Marker I'd concentrate and be specific on one and include a case study.
Outline the process... It's likely to ask its impacts and effects.

It's a good Question. :-)

^ Hope that helps. :-) ^

DO THIS V IMPORTANT. Level 4 straight away.

But surely its almost impossible for some, such as a globalisation essay such as trade vs aid, or a tectonics essay on the human impacts on earthquakes or something along these lines? How do you incorporate maps/diagrams to something like this?? :confused:
