Условие
Study the cartoon which makes a comment on the process of urban sprawl.
Explain the causes and the consequences of urban sprawl.

Решение
Answer: 4 marks: maximum of 2 marks if only causes or consequences are addressed.
Causes – centrifugal population movement due to push and pull factors:
- Push: congestion and high land values in the city centre mean that people want to move out.
- Pull: open space, cleaner air, less congestion and cheaper land at the rural-urban fringe or beyond.
- People attracted to the city live in the suburbs rather than the city centre because it is too expensive to live in the centre.
- People who have lived in the centre move to the suburbs for larger accommodation, more open space, greater safety.
Consequences – increased commuting, traffic congestion, pollution and stress if this movement is spontaneous, unplanned and on a large scale.
- Costs of (government-provided) infrastructure (e.g. water, public transport) are greater in the lower-density fringe.
- Isolation, e.g. young mothers moving away from family support structure.
- Changes in fringe land uses if farmers sell land for housing developments through diversification.
