GCSE Geography Coursework Assessment Document: Has the regeneration of Birmingham’s CBD made it a more desirable place to work and shop?
Geographical understanding (Introduction)
I am doing my GCSE geography coursework assessment for 25% of my total mark in controlled assessment, the main topic I am encompassing is associated with the CBD of Birmingham, and my task is to research the hypothesis if Birmingham’s CBD has been a more desirable place to work and shop (i.e. the header). I will use secure primary evidence I have conducted and secondary data to reinforce my investigation.
The key concept of the terms definitions I'm discussing is usually defined: Urban Regeneration: To designate (a street) for the use of pedestrians only, disallowing motor vehicles, normally to prohibit traffic conditions.
Environmental Quality: Environmental quality is a set of properties and characteristics of the environment and surroundings, either general or local.
CBD: The central business district of an urban area, typically containing an intense concentration of offices, shops, housing and retail activities.
Land use: land use is the human modification of natural environment or Brownfield sites to built environment such as fields, pastures, (rundown) settlements. This creates dominant activity taking place on an area of land.
Optimistically, I will look into these topics further though out my investigation.
There are also two main theories which are apparent however loosely developed in my investigation;
1. The urban decline: in the UK, urban decline has impacted businesses and shops in Birmingham’s CBD due to out of town shopping centres, the rundown parts of the CBD (i.e. Birmingham’s bullring), And the influence of crime and vandalism that Birmingham appears to have a reputation for. urban decline is a great issue in the economy due to the depression of people lack of payments, costs, spending
2. The regeneration: the regeneration of a CBD is required when the businesses and jobs are lacking commerce due to the lack of customers/buyers. Regeneration for CBD’s can improve shops and businesses, transport,
