﻿I'm Miss Goacher, and welcome to our lesson today. Our focus for today's lesson is on the opportunities that have been created by urban change, in our chosen UK urban area, Liverpool. You'll notice that the lesson says part two, in our last lesson, we looked at these opportunities created by urban change and focused on social and economic opportunities. So today is our chance to move beyond that and to look at our final set of opportunities. As always, you're going to need a pen and some paper and your brains. So if you need to pause the video at this point to go and get those, please feel free to. So in our last lesson, we looked at the opportunities that have been created by urban change in Liverpool, and we put them into three categories; social, so those opportunities linked to people, economic, those opportunities linked to anything income or money based, and environmental, so those opportunities that are linked to the environment. Today, we're going to continue with our focus on those three but, we are going to put real importance on looking at the environmental opportunities, that Liverpool has experienced. So these are our two focus points today, urban greening, and cycle and pedestrian routes. At this point of the video, you might want to pause, and pop these ideas down, either in your own little table, in a mind map, or as some headings on your notes. So that you have got something to focus on, as we're going through the lesson, and to pop some ideas underneath. So we're going to start today's lesson with a quick skills task. You will see on the screen that you've got a map that shows you the green spaces in Liverpool. You've got a key on the screen as well, which tells you what the colours represent on the map. Our job is to describe the distribution of that green space in Liverpool. You need to remind yourself what that command word describe means, you need to say what you can see, and the word distribution is asking us to say where things are. So we need to look at this map, and describe where those green spaces are in Liverpool. Now the easiest way to get marks on this in an exam, would be to refer to specific locations. I might say, for example, there is a public park or garden located South of Edge Hill, in grid square 1161. You can see on your map, hopefully there, that Crown Street Park is located at that point, I could be more specific and I could say, there is a public park or garden, called Crown Street Park, located South of Edge Hill in 113610. That would then take that person, the examiner, anyone that's reading the map and your answer, to that specific place on the map. You've got three marks available here. So I would pick out, three green spaces in Liverpool and link them to a specific location on the map, using either place names, or grid references. Pause the video at this point, to have a go before you move on to the answers, in the next part of the lesson. So let's see what we got from our map. The ideas on this are not exhaustive, and you may have picked up different green spaces to what I have popped on screen, but there are a list of ideas here that you might use to double check that you've got yours correct. Remember, the best thing to do when given a map, is to refer to specific information from the map. So you can see in the list here, there are place names, there's also grid references, and that could be a four figure grid reference, or a more specific six figure grid reference. Double check that you've got that in your answers. And you may borrow some ideas that are on the screen at the moment. Do that before we move on to the next part of the lesson. So let's move on to looking at our environments and opportunities that have been created by urban change in Liverpool. And our first opportunity is linked to a process called urban greening. It's really important that we know the definition for this key term. And you'll see on the screen that it says that Urban greening, is the process of increasing and preserving open space in urban areas with parks and gardens. This is used by urban areas as a strategy to improve their environment. And we can often link this to areas that might have experienced urban decline, or there may have lots of brownfield land. The term we've looked at before, the land has been used before and may now be abandoned or have derelict buildings on it. And we need to be able to understand how urban greening can improve the environment. So let's look at our example in Liverpool. In Liverpool ONE, which is a mixed retail, restaurant and gallery area, a five acre park has been created. Chavasse Park is an excellent example of urban greening in Liverpool, and this five acre park that's been created, links to the idea of how the environment can be improved in urban areas. So this is our first environmental opportunity that we're going to look at today. I no want you to see whether you can pick out, the statement on the slide that is incorrect. You have four statements that all describe either the definition of urban greening, or describe urban greening in Liverpool. And I want you to pick out, which one you think is incorrect. Pause the video to do this, and we'll go through the answers together, in a minute. So did you get this correct? Statement C, was the incorrect statement, and that reads urban greening is adding green space to residential areas of a city. That's the odd one out. Statement A is correct. Chavasse park is a five acre park in Liverpool One. Urban greening increases and preserves open space in urban areas is correct, for statement B. Urban greening is used to improve areas affected by de-industrialization is correct, for statement D, and statement C is that odd one out. Check that you've got that noted down. We now move on to our second environmental opportunity in Liverpool, and that is the creation of cycle and pedestrian routes. In a previous lesson, we looked at, the idea of integrated transport systems being put into place in Liverpool. And the idea that the fairies, the trains and the buses, were all run by one company. There's a real focus on improving the ability to get around the city, and by creating cycle and pedestrian routes, people are encouraged to get out of their cars, and to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, which is an incredibly important element, of improving the environment in any city, but also, in Liverpool. So at this point in the lesson, I want you to think about what we've looked at so far. I want you to pause the video and complete the task that is on the slide. All that you need to do, is fill in the gap. So identify what is missing from the two following phrases. You have two gaps in statement one, and two gaps in statement two. Pause the video and see, if using what we've looked at so far, you are able to fill in those gaps. So did you get it? Statement one, urban greening has created a five acre park in Liverpool ONE, that's the area, called Chavasse Park. There's your second gap, in statement two, cycle and pedestrian routes in Liverpool help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Check that you've got those ideas, before we move on. This brings us to the final parts of our lesson. Remember what the purpose of today's lesson was. We were looking at those environmental opportunities, created by urban change in Liverpool. Remind yourself of what we've looked at so far today. We've looked at the idea of urban greening, and the idea that urban greening improves the environment of urban areas. And we looked at the example Liverpool ONE, where Chavasse Park, the five acre park had been created. We then, went on to look at, the idea of the creation of cycle and pedestrian routes, and how that had really improved the environment in Liverpool, because it reduced the need for transport, and it encouraged people, to get out of their cars and therefore reduce pollution, and improve air quality, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Our main task is asking us to recap on those ideas. The question asks, explain one environmental opportunity that has been created by urban change in Liverpool. And there are three marks for this question. I've popped some ideas on the screen, to help you with the structure of your answer. Remember that in geography, in order to get three marks, we should be looking for a specific idea, and we should be looking to develop our ideas. The phrases meaning that or leading to, are really great ways of being able to structure our ideas. Pause the video at this point, and see if you can recap on one environmental opportunity, and think about why that's an opportunity, and what positives that could lead to in Liverpool. So did you get this? I've popped an idea on the screen of how I, will be looking to get three marks in this question. What environmental opportunity created by urban change in Liverpool, is urban greening, in areas such as Chavasse Park. There's my first mark, I've used a lovely, specific idea. This is an environmental opportunity because, areas of wasteland or areas that have become derelict can be developed and improve, there's my second mark, meaning that the environment is cleaner and safer, there is my third mark, because I've developed the idea for the second time. You might have talked about the cycle and pedestrian routes, and explained how they are an environmental opportunity, but look back through your work. You might underline or highlight, where you've used that specific idea and how you might have developed those ideas, at least once, if not twice. Check through your work at this point, before we move on to the final parts of the lesson. So today, we have looked at the opportunities that have been created by urban change in Liverpool. And as we said at the beginning of the lesson, this was part two. We focused on today, the environmental opportunities that have been created, and really looked at the concept of urban greening and the creation of the cycle and pedestrianised routes. Next lesson, if you're able to join us, we'll go on to look at the challenges that have been caused by urban change in Liverpool. Well done for the work that you've done today. Well done for the notes, and well done for the thinking, make sure that you keep those ideas safe. If you wanted to, you could ask a parent or carer to share your work on one of our social media platforms. So finally, the last thing that you need to do, is to complete the quiz that accompanies this lesson. Just to show us what you've learnt from today.

This lesson explores the environmental opportunities that have been created through urban growth in Liverpool.
