  The student books contain a range of resources, questions and assignments to motivate average pupils as well as stretching the more able GCSE candidates. In-depth case studies are taken from both economically developed and developing countries and range from local and regional studies to national and global studies. People, Cities and the Countryside examines world population trends and the processes of urbanization and counter-urbanization. It considers the issues affecting people living in a variety of urban and rural environments. Students are encouraged to consider the quality of life offered by different residential environments and to question the images they may hold about these. Throughout, there is an emphasis on how decisions are made about the areas in which we live and how individuals can influence such decisions.
