Elaborations
- AC9HG8K07_E1representing the location of urban settlements in Australia and the United States of America, identifying similarities and differences in the distribution
- AC9HG8K07_E2examining the causes of urban concentration in Australia; for example, the history of European settlement, migration, the export orientation of the economy, the centralisation of state governments, environmental constraints and the shape of transportation networks
- AC9HG8K07_E3examining the effects of urban concentration in a country other than Australia; for example, the decline in biodiversity and increase in waste, the increase in carbon emissions leading to a large carbon footprint, or the decline in access to adequate clean water and the development of slums
- AC9HG8K07_E4interpreting and explaining the relationship between population density and proximity to urban centres at the national scale; for example, higher population density towards the urban central business district (CBD) as a centre of employment, education, culture and government, such as in Brisbane, and declining towards the rural-urban fringe (core and periphery)
