L3s: Urban Geography

Examples to use for Urban Geog to get your L3 marks! I’m sure there are much more, but these are the ones that I could find, but if you think there’s something really worth adding in here, do leave a comment!
I need to make a qualifier here. Manila may or may not be primate, depending on how you look at it. The fact remains that Manila City is not the largest in Philippines; rather, that honour goes to Quezon City, with Manila trailing a far second.
This stems from the fact that the Philippines has a rather confusing way of dividing their country into regions, provinces, cities, municipalities and barangays. That said, it is the National Capital Regions (NCR) – also known as the Manila Metro, or, simply, Manila (without ”city”) - that is primate so Manila (not the city) is, may be considered a “primate region” – that, of course, depending on what you’re comparing it to. It’s primate compared to the next city outside the NCR – but that confuses us even more because the NCR is home to around 11.3 million people. The next largest region is CALABARZON which is home to some 9.3 million people. Simple math would tell you that 11.3 million is barely twice 9.3 million. So is Manila primate? Your call.
My opinion? Use Bangkok as an example. It’s some 21 times larger than the next largest city, Nonthaburi. Can’t go wrong there.

Hi,
Stumbled upon your site whilst googling for Econs stuff. I see that you take Geog as a subject. Were you ever taught by Mdm Mas? She’s teaching in IJC now but I think she taught in RI before. I don’t take Geog but my friends do and she got solid notes. Hehe.. Thanks again for the physics stuff.

Hey, yeah I was taught by her in sec 1/2 she’s an awesome teacher :D
And um, physics? Chemistry you mean? Haha I don’t have physics notes here (not yet, anyway) but at any rate, you’re welcome! :)

Yup..chemistry sorry..I think I must be going mad…my friend asked whether you have your college’s geog notes in return for Mdm Mas’s DRQ exercises. She apparently has 100 DRQs each for all 6 topics for practice..all original questions…haha..she’s not lecturing J2s this year so notes from the other teachers are err…not like hers…hahah

Haha seriously? 600 DRQs o.O
Hm, sounds like a good proposition but the notes I have here are really a lot to duplicate… and I think the stuff I have up here are summaries of the notes I have (apart from the diagrams). Hm.
