Analyzing Development Data
Sep 22, ’10

As we study urbanization, it is vital that we first understand what development is, how it is measured, and what the development trends are per region in the world. This is essential to understand as the world’s increasing urbanized populations have very different meanings for MDCs vs. LDCs.
In class today, we identified the social and economic indicators of development, and examined the relationship between development and urbanization. We watched the “Slum Insight” clip from http://www.gapminder.org.
We used the following worksheet to identify some of the indicators of development, as well as to understand the idea that development is a process that can be charted on a spectrum rather than a black and white status of being “developed.”
