Contrasting place study exploring the developing character of a contrasting and distant place.
Place studies must apply the knowledge acquired through engagement with prescribed
specification content and thereby further enhance understanding of the way students' own lives
and those of others are affected by continuity and change in the nature of places. Sources must
include qualitative and quantitative data to represent places in the past and present.
Both place studies must focus equally on:
people's lived experience of the place in the past and at present
and either
changing demographic and cultural characteristics
or
economic change and social inequalities.
Suitable data sources could include:
statistics, such as census data
maps
geo-located data
geospatial data, including geographic information systems (GIS) applications
photographs
text, from varied media
audio-visual media
artistic representations
oral sources, such as interviews, reminiscences, songs etc.
This is what the AQA specification says you need to know about a distant place (I did a distant place that was much more local than this so I can't really help more than this).

What was your distant place

What was your distant place

I'm not comfortable sharing it, but it is in the UK so probably not useful for you
