an improvement in living standards through the better use of resources
we can look at development through social, economic and environemntal
Development is globally uneven , with most ACs located in Europe, N america and Oceania.
Most EDCs are in Asia and S america whilst most LiDCs are in Africa.
Physical factors affecting development:
national resources
climate
natural hazards
location and terrain
HDI (human development index) is a way of measuring development , as it looks at stuff such as:
GNI
life expectancy
adult literacy rate
The country is given a score between 0 and 1
The UK is one of the coloniser countries . Colonialism has helped the UK to develop , and widened the development gap between ACs and LiDCs . Most of the colonsied countries are still showing signs of colonisation.
