What a load of crap! Sorry, but Curitiba is one of the best examples of a sustainable urban area/rebrand.
It is written on most mark schemes and has a 2 page spread in the textbook endorsed by edexcel.

Military dictatorship! That has absolutely no relevance to whether it can be used as an example of a sustainable rebrand. (Unless you evaluate that it's drawbacks were that it may be considered a 'top-down' rebrand)

To be honest I thought the same thing when I heard it from my teacher 😂😂. Are you sure it would be safe to use?

Unfortunately I left my Liverpool notes on 'Outcome/Success' at my college, and I didn't want to waste 2 hours travelling on the train to go and get them.

I would bet that if someone read, understood and acted upon the advice given in examiner reports they would almost certainly get an A

@hadzyster99 Did you sort out your fieldwork and research? Out of interest: how do you actually sit the exam, given that you are not in the UK and are independent from a school?

For people doing crowded coasts. What case study can I apply for coastal flooding - like I know about the Thames gateway but what do you talk about?

I doubt it, It has only come up once before in rebranding, and it was combined with an analysis question.

But, there are a range of presentation techniques which you could use:

It would have been enough for Unit 1, I don't think so for Unit 2.

Are you allowed to do it at 4pm? Surely you could see the online discussion after everyone else has sat the exam?
