birmingham case study a level geography

I made a page document of all the case studies i learnt about and found independently for geogrpahy alevel, obviously not all are necessary but they are very usefult to add into long answer questions, even if you just remember 1/2 facts about it, this is what helped me achieve an A* in geography alevel as many of them are unique - showing the examiner you have researched further and are able to think of current/ modern examples rather than the same ones that everyone uses which we all learnt at GCSE I blurted out each case study on my whiteboard to memorise them and used many of them in my exams
