Where Will I Live? - Interdependence

School/Scheme Understanding related to the concept of 'interdependence' Questions to develop understanding
Westholme School,
A Geographical Mystery
Places do not exist in isolation, but are interconnected with others through social, economic, environmental and political processes. How does an analysis of these systems help you to explore the price differentials between similar houses?
Habergham High School
What makes an area good or bad?
Places are simultaneously similar and different. Why might a place have both good and bad features at the same time?
Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar
Where would you be willing to live?
Deciding where to live has an impact both on that place and on other places? What might be some of the consequences of your choice as to where to live, on that place and on other places?
Ivy Bank Business and Technology College
Urban Change
The planned changes in one place could have unintentional positive/negative affects on another. What might be some of the consequences be of your proposals for your place? How might other places be affected?
Colne Primet High School
Environmental Quality
Different people will view interdependence differently. Does your analysis show that an improvement in environmental quality will definitely cause all house prices in the area to increase?
Edge End High School
What is all the fuss about?
The same process has different spatial consequences in different places. Has housing market renewal benefited Nelson and Whitefield?
Coleridge Community School and Parkside Community School
Marshalls Airfield
Some views about interrelationships dominate. These do not always reflect an understanding of all the information from a verity of people at a variety of scales. Will the re-development of Marshall's Airfield bring benefits to all?
Sawston Village College
New housing developments
Our understanding about a known place is improved by analysing other places. What kind of environment would you realistically like to live in?
St Bede’s Inter-Church Schools and Chesterton Community College
Perceptions of places
Places are simultaneously similar and different, connected and unique. How are places connected? What are some of the similarities and differences between places?
Hills Road Sixth Form College
Managing Urban Environments
Inter-relationships have the potential to be different. How might the changing social structure of a place impact on the demand for housing?
Comberton Village College and Saffron Walden High School
Sustainable Cambridge?
We live in a highly uneven world. Global interconnection and interdependency have been coincident with inequality and uneven development. What are some of the effects of this inequality on Cambridge?
Chesterton Community College
Housing Design and Housing Needs
Priorities that inform global interconnections have the potential to change. Are homes that are designed to be environmentally friendly always seen as good?
