📄 Paper 2: Human Geography
Section A — Global Systems: TNCs & Global Inequality
🔴 High confidence
Past 20-markers
2018: TNCs most significant factor in unequal flows — assess with reference to a TNC
2020: UN vs TNCs — who's been more successful?
2021: Climate change making global commons harder to protect
2022: Impacts of world trade in a food commodity/manufactured product
2023: Carbon cycle changes as greatest threat to Antarctica
2024: Global governance of global commons — direct impact on your life
2025: Unknown — likely TNC/trade/inequality angle (3 years since last TNC focus)
2026 prediction: TNC-focused essay is overdue. Possible questions: "Assess the extent to which TNCs have increased global inequality" or "Assess the role of TNCs in shaping unequal flows of people, money and resources." Alternatively, a return to global commons given recent back-and-forth. Know both.
Section B — Changing Places: Insider/Outsider & Place Representation
🔴 High confidence
Past 20-markers
2021: Lived experience and near/distant place
2022: Place meaning and identity vs rebranding — to what extent do you agree?
2023: Contrasting impact of economic change OR cultural characteristics on local/distant place
2024: How economic change leads to contrasting impacts on place characteristics
2025: Unknown — economic change has dominated 2022-2024; cycle likely to shift
2026 prediction: Economic change has dominated 2022-2024 — a shift toward insider/outsider perspectives, qualitative/quantitative methods, or the role of external agents in shaping place is widely predicted. Possible: "Evaluate the view that place identity is shaped more by insider perceptions than external representations." Know your place methods cold.
Section C — Contemporary Urban Environments: Urban Regeneration
🟡 Medium confidence
Past 20-markers
2021: Urban policy and regeneration since 1979
2022: Fortress developments, heritage quarters, edge cities — intensified urban inequality?
2023: Recycling scheme success depends on economic characteristics and attitudes
2024: SuDS as strategy to manage water movement in urban catchments (9-marker); urban form + economic change (20-marker)
2025: Unknown — sustainability/environment has featured heavily 2023-2024
2026 prediction: Urban regeneration as a 20-marker topic hasn't been the main focus since 2021. Possible: "Assess the success of urban regeneration policies in tackling socioeconomic inequality in UK cities". Also possible: deindustrialisation and urban change, or urban form and culture. Know Hulme, London Docklands, and New Deal for Communities.
