Key learning points
- There are many geographical enquiry questions that you can investigate in urban areas such as towns and cities.
- Data collection techniques in an urban area can investigate quality of life, sustainability and regeneration.
- Secondary data can provide contextual information about urban populations and spaces and how these have changed.
Common misconception

Crime data can be misinterpreted. The data does not give any details about the economic status of the victim or the perpetrator. It is also assumes that the perpetrator lives in the area where they committed the crime, for which there is no evidence.
