Slide3

In Less Developed Countries the process of urbanisation is rapid.

This is because there are larger and larger number of people moving from rural areas to urban areas in these countries.

Less developed countries traditionally have larger rural communities, which often rely on agriculture for survival.

PUSH factors forcing people to leave these rural communities.Slide4

Explaining the process of rapid urbanisation using PUSH and PULL factorsSlide5

Towns can’t be built quickly enough to cope with people moving from the countryside to cities in LEDCs so …..Slide6

The main characteristics of a squatter settlement

Squatter settlements are found on areas of undesirable land:

· marsh· near airports

· near motorways

near railway lines

· near rubbish tips

· uneven groundSlide7

What is life like in a squatter settlement?

settlements are unplanned- sanitation, piped water, electricity and road access

houses are made of any material available nearby - corrugated iron, pieces of board - haphazardly assembled to provide a basic shelter

houses have a simple layout that may have a living area separate from a sleeping area

parents and large families inhabit a small shack which is often overcrowded

squatter settlements are very overcrowded

no toilets

water must be collected from a nearby source - often at a cost - and carried back

rubbish is not collected

poorly paid jobs where the income is unreliable or they work in the less well-paid jobs part of the formal sector

the residents have very little money so cannot improve their homes or environments

crime is a problem, children often do not go to school, the family lives on top of each other, there is no privacy, disease is rife and life is one of trying to survive from one day to the nextSlide8
