Places People Want

Introduction

There are clear indications that settlement as a topic has become too settled and is in need of a shake-up. We need to explore the dynamism of place and people's mobility. We can consider academic perspectives and place-making that involves policies and practical action. Developing this understanding and skills can be based on the everyday and immediate. It can be used as stimulus to look out beyond the familiar. The evidence for communities is all around us. We can evaluate what works and make suggestions for where it doesn't. We have an active part to play in creating 'places people want'.

Does your geography teaching...

  • seek a response based on learners' personal experience?
  • explore the full range of skills for active participation?
  • provide a conceptual framework for evaluating place?
  • illustrate professions and career options with learners?
