- You will need two detailed and contrasting examples of uneven population distribution
Core Periphery Model: “The growing interdependence of countries worldwide through the increasing volume and variety of cross-border transactions in goods and services and of international capital flows, and through the more rapid and widespread diffusion of technology” (source: IMF).
How can air traffic be used to identify global core, periphery and semi periphery?
What other factors could be used to global core, periphery and semi periphery?
The DP Geography course will require you to use detailed examples or case studies for every argument you make (see guide)

- Canada
- Your choice, with teacher approval
- In your groups, you will research and describe the population distribution of one region, including physical and social factors, specific examples, historical evidence, and statistics. You will present your findings to the class and share a one page factsheet.

- Identify and explain the core and peripheries of your country?
- Is your country a global core?
- What are the most important influences on where people live?
- How do these influences impact the spatial interactions within each country? (pros and cons)
- How do these influences impact the spatial interactions with their neighboring countries? (pros and cons)
