what do you reckon would be the question for ecosystems?

idk, maybe natural vs human stresses or resilience and vulnerability

WTF there are no THSC papers for Geo? Yet there are papers for subjects like "Earth and Environmental Science" and "Society and Culture" which barely anyone do? Surely Geo is much bigger than those cohorts?

world cities + urban dynamics i think

world cities + urban dynamics i think

they've never combined the two it can't be both
i'd say 60% chance urban dynamics, 30% WCs, 10% MCs

Guys would the post-9/11 rebuild of the World Trade Center including that futuristic Westfield World Trade Center be classified as 'urban renewal'? I'm not so sure since this rebuild was a result of an attack, not urban decay and redevelopment

i would agree that it is not renewal because it never really decayed.

also how much detail is everyone putting in their essays? how many stats/ paragraph would be great as well

it could work in an exam, but tbh id just find a different example

impact of urban dynamics on a world city question maybe

it should be chill given we have a choice between 3 essays (pick 2) so if theres a bad one you can avoid

Geography will always give you a choice between 3 questions and you can pick the ones you like, right? It isn’t like English where you are forced to do a discursive/narrative/whatever, right…..right? Or can they technically force you to do two essay questions?

When you talk about patterns of advantage and disadvantage, how do you not be racist (eg when talking about race with crime, education and income) - like is it ok to say the Bronx is 35% Hispanic, 30% Black and it has a crime rate of 30 per 1000 residents, less than 25% have a Bachelor degree and avg AUD annual income is 60K and a poverty rate of 30%?

youd be fine saying that, keep in mind though you kinda need to explain why those patterns of advantage and disadvantage happen, eg; richer white ppl had money to leave bronx. left behind low income residents who were primarily black and hispanic - low income is barrier to entry to higher education - leading to cycle of poverty, low income leads to increased crime as people are desperate

Also if we’re doing patterns of incomes in NYC can we just put AUD or does it have to be USD?
