- I can define urban sprawl and the rural-urban fringe, and explain why the fringe is a zone that keeps moving outwards
- I can describe how far the case-study city has spread over former estates and fields, and work out the rate of spread myself
- I can explain why shops and services move to the edge of a city, and describe what that does to the centre
- I can explain what a field does before it is built on, why paving it raises flood risk downstream, and how a greenfield site differs from a brownfield one
- I can describe how a city can lose green cover and get some back, and how public pressure can change a decision about land on the fringe
- I can describe what extreme low-density sprawl looks like, and how a green belt changes the land on both sides of its line
