During our last lesson we learnt that cities can change over time…

Just like Dunedin and Wellington have over the years…

Wellington

But why do cities change?Lets explore some of the reasons why cities may change…

1 People moving to the city

The number of people living in a city can grow very quickly over time

More people come to a city because there is a better lifestyle here

The city begins to grow as more people choose to live in the city

People moving to the city

There are two ways a city can grow…

sideways

upwards

A city can grow sideways if there is enough land…

Manukau, New Zealand

Houses and buildings are spread across because there is enough land

Manukau has almost 400,000 people living here

A city may have to grow upwards if there is not enough land…

Hong Kong, China

Houses and buildings are built very high because there is not enough landOver 7 million live here!There are more people living in this city than people

living in New Zealand!

A place that started with hundreds of people has changed over time into a city with millions of people

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai

Shanghai, China

When Shanghai was first turned into a city there were less than 100,000 people

Shanghai is now the 2nd largest city in the world with over 23 million people!

2 People leaving the city

The number of people living in a city can become smaller over time

More people may leave the city because there are no jobs left

They may have to leave because they can not afford the lifestyle they want or the house they live in…

People leaving the city

Without work or jobs many people can not afford to live here

Detroit, USA

With people leaving the city many places are now left empty

Detroit, USA

Many people moved here but over time that has changed with many people leaving

Detroit, USA

In 1950 almost 2 million people lived hereBy 2010 there were only 713, 777 people living hereOver 1 million people have left the city since 1950!

3 A natural disaster

A natural disaster

A natural disaster can change the appearance of a city in a very short time

An earthquake has changed the appearance of Christchurch city

Image: http://howard-actionscount.blogspot.com/2011/02/summary-of-christchurch-disaster.html

The city does not look the same to many people living in Christchurch

The earthquake damaged roads, homes and buildings

Image: http://lj-longsud.blogspot.com/2011/03/devastation.html

Christchurch, New Zealand

Many buildings have been here for over 100 years and will now have to be pulled down as they are no longer safe

Over time the appearance of Christchurch city will change as new buildings will replace old and damaged buildings

Image: http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/christchurch-earthquake/4772045/Christchurch-earthquake-demolition-process-a-train-wreck

Christchurch, New Zealand

Over 200 buildings will be demolished because they are unsafe

Christchurch early 1900s Christchurch before the earthquake

?

What will Christchurch look like once it has been rebuilt?

Lets recap on what we have learnt so far…As we have seen cities change for different reasons…

So what have we learnt so far?

• From having thousands of people to having millions of people

• By rebuilding after a natural disaster

• From having many people move to the city, to many people leaving the city

• And grow sideways (if there is enough land) or upwards (if there is not enough land)

Over time a city can change…

We look forward to having you all here
