10. Case Study: Investigating the growth of
a UK coastal Resort, Bournemouth
Produce a PowerPoint presentation using the maps and

experienced such rapid growth – coastalisation.
– Investigate why Bournemouth (a coastal city) has
grown and chart the changes in their population and
popularity over time.
– Human and physical reasons why B’mouth has grown.
– Include a section on the general growth of UK seaside
resorts.
– Use p178-181 in the fish book.
