In order to make my infographic I had to do a lot of research into urbanisation and that meant I had to try and find lots of statistics and data on the subject. I looked for data on urbanisation, rural living, the future of urbanisation and so much more. I looked at a lot of websites for this data and I am going to list it below.

Sources

• Our World Data – https://ourworldindata.org/urbanization
• Internet Geography – https://www.internetgeography.net/topics/what-causes-urbanisation/
• National Geographic – https://www.nationalgeographic.com/environment/article/urban-threats
• United Nations – https://www.un.org/development/desa/en/news/population/2018-revision-of-world-urbanization-prospects.html
• BBC UK – https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zc72frd/revision/8

I then process all the data and selected what was relevant, below is the list that I ended up with.

I then will take all of this data and put it into the infographic, I will make a graph from the data and place the remaining information all over the infographic. I want to make sure that I include lots, that is why I have made such an extensive list, because in my option the infographic is all about the data.

Why did I choose this data?

• I chose a wide range because I want to cover lots of different areas for example, positives and negatives, the future and rural life also.
• I included lots of statistics to ensure that my info is not all text, the figures will break it up.
• I used a range of statistics from the UK and the rest of the world to keep the infographic interesting.

I know I will face challenges when doing this, here is what I am worried about:

• Not being able to fit in the data
• Not being able to display it in a nice way, I may not have enough illustrations to go along with it
• That my infographic will be too text heavy

Overall I feel I have collected a lot of good data and now am ready to turn this processed data into a beautiful infographic.
