About development and the changing economic world notes
GoConqr OriginalDevelopment and the Changing Economic World notes
The notes on this page cover definitions, measures of development and differences in wealth. They also include case studies on industrial decline, environmental risks and technology. They were made by GoConqr users, so their approaches and level of detail may vary.
How to use the notes
Start with Development for an introduction to the development gap and how development can be measured. Then use Measuring the Development Gap to focus your revision on that topic. Write down the terms you want to remember and explain them in your own words.
For a case study, read Nord - Industrial Decline alongside your broader notes. Compare what it covers with the notes on spatial inequality and development in India. If you want to check recall rather than read, switch to a quiz or flashcards on the unit page. Pick a note that matches the topic you are revising.
Frequently asked questions
Which note is a good place to start?
Start with “Development” if you want an overview. It introduces development and the development gap, then looks at measures of development and differences between places. For a narrower focus, “Bridging the development gap” begins with definitions of development and the development gap.
What case studies are included in the notes?
The page lists notes on industrial decline in Nord, environmental risks of economic development and technology in Mexico City. There are also notes on spatial inequality and development in India, deprivation in East Sussex and affordable housing in Kingsbridge, south Devon.
