This could be because Bristol has already undergone a regeneration process. This would mean that employment was quite good due to new businesses moving into the area, which would in turn lead to more money in the local economy. This is called the multiplier effect, and if a city manages to achieve it then they can be seen as successful. This could also be compared to London, as the levels of household deprivation are very similar. This could be due to the size of the city, as the population in London is huge and therefore the results are varied.
The urban consolidation of inner city areas in Sydney such as Pyrmont has played a large role in the areas development of culture and future trends including the increase of high-rise residential buildings due to the increased population density. Both urban dynamics urban sprawl and urban consolidation have made a major impact on areas of Sydney’s development, future trends, ecological sustainability and in particular, the growth and population growth of the city. A major factor of urban sprawl of which impacts areas on the fringe of city of Sydney such as Liverpool and Leppington is the increased population and the expansion of the boundaries of the city. As the city expands, more affordable and larger housing become available within the outskirts. This attracts more residents triggering the increase of Sydney’s population.
Q. ‘The decentralisation of retailing and other services has had a major impact on urban areas.’ To what extent do you agree with this statement? City centres and central business districts are usually recognised as being places where businesses, major shopping areas, tourist attractions and major corporate companies are based. They reside in the city centre as it is the place where bodies of people will swarm to, making it successful in earning and boosting the economy. However, when decentralisation occurs, urban centres suffer many negative impacts.
Even though they are both main streets and have large populations using them daily, they both are made and remade in different ways. City Road shows it caters for local people’s needs whereas Prince of Wales Road has a different clientele using the road for business and work during the day and a party scene at night.

‘Urban areas have a significant impact on climatic characteristics’ Discuss the statement [40] An urban area is a region surround a city; they include the surrounding areas as well as the city itself. High population density and vast human features in comparison to the surrounding areas are characteristics of urban areas. Other characteristics include transport links and high rise buildings for dwelling and working. Due to the vast number of urban areas, the activities of these areas will obviously have some effect on the climatic characteristics, but I will attempt to answer how significant the effects are and if there are any other contributing factors. Urban heat island climates usually occur in more built up urban areas.
The late 20th century city life can still be observed in many parts of Pyrmont today, and some buildings are heritage sites, such as the old residential houses seen at John and Point Street. The many sites for shopping, such as Star city, Sydney fish markets, the hundreds of restaurants or the markets at Darling Harbour have also made Pyrmont recognised as a large entertainment source and shoppers paradise, so clearly the maturing infrastructure and business developments also influential to the identity of

Problems occurred in Ireland and many saw it in their interest to move to more industrialised cities and towns, here they saw new opportunities and leaped to the prospect of a more luxurious lifestyle and this in-turn contributed to the growth in Agriculture and Industry. Despite this being a good thing for Britain it also lead to the growth and over-crowding of many towns and cities. Population figures for Britain's main cities and towns increased at an alarming rate. Due to the huge increase of people flocking to industrial cities, houses called back-to-back houses had to be built small and were cramped tightly together as near as possible to the large industrial sites. In many, cities such as Liverpool, out of 160,000 only half lived in acceptable houses whilst 55,534 people were crammed in to 1,982 courts containing 10,692 houses.
Such technology led to suburbs with groups living in neighborhoods of similar social status. The boundaries of the cities expanded as retail operations occupied downtown areas and industrial operations located along waterways. An increase in resources, new inventions, capital investments, and automation of materials drastically shifted the nonagricultural economy. Problems generated by the economic growth were mostly related to having resources spread too thin, such as lawlessness. Overcrowded urban areas where immigrants lived were notorious for crime.
