Urban Geography

Why it matters

• Provides a framework for understanding the challenges of rapid urbanisation, including housing shortages, infrastructure deficits, and the management of urban sprawl.
• Analyzes the socio-spatial inequalities within cities, addressing issues like segregation, informal settlements, and the accessibility of public services.
• Informs sustainable urban planning and governance strategies to mitigate the environmental footprint of cities and enhance climate resilience.

How it is asked

Focus on the relationship between urban morphology and socio-economic development, the impact of urbanisation on rural-urban migration patterns, and the governance challenges associated with managing smart cities and sustainable urban infrastructure.
