Section A: Structured Questions on Resources Sustainability (30 marks)
Q1. [5 marks]
Using the data below, account for the changes in municipal solid waste (MSW) generation per capita in City X from 2005 to 2020.
| Year | MSW per capita (kg/day) | Recycling rate (%) | Population (millions) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2005 | 0.82 | 12 | 4.1 |
| 2020 | 1.05 | 38 | 6.3 |
Image pending generation: table for Q1.
Q2. [5 marks]
Explain two characteristics of informal waste-picking activities in developing-country cities, with reference to sustainability challenges.
Q3. [6 marks]
Evaluate the usefulness of the following two resources for understanding the success of slum upgrading in Lagos, Nigeria.
- Resource A: A 2021 government report stating 40% of slum households gained piped water.
- Resource B: A satellite image time-series (2010–2020) showing roof material changes in Makoko.
Image pending generation: source_image for Q3.
Q4. [7 marks]
Using Resource 4 below, analyse the extent to which urban reimaging in City Y has contributed to environmental sustainability.
Resource 4: City Y converted 22 ha of disused rail yard into a park with rain gardens and solar lighting (2018–2022). Visitor surveys show 70% increase in active mobility (cycling/walking). Local air particulate (PM2.5) fell 9% post-project.
Image pending generation: graph for Q4.
Q5. [7 marks]
“Gender-sensitive waste management is essential for liveable cities.” Evaluate this statement with reference to the experiences of women in urban neighbourhoods.
Section B: Data-Based Resource Interpretation (20 marks)
The following resource is for Q6 and Q7.
Resource 6: A bar chart of per-capita plastic waste generation (kg/year) for three cities:
- City A (high-income): 58 kg
- City B (upper-middle-income): 41 kg
- City C (lower-middle-income): 19 kg City A has formal curbside collection; City C relies on informal sector.
Image pending generation: chart for Q6.
Q6. [8 marks]
Using Resource 6, describe and explain the pattern of plastic waste generation across the three cities.
Q7. [6 marks]
Suggest two reasons why City C’s lower plastic waste generation does not necessarily mean it is more sustainable.
Q8. [6 marks]
A student claims: “Improving liveability for the elderly always reduces urban sustainability because it uses more resources.” Using syllabus concepts, evaluate this claim.

Section A Answers
Q1 [5 marks]
Teaching note: Account = explain causes, not just describe. Use table data.
- MSW per capita rose from 0.82 to 1.05 kg/day (+28%). Cause: population growth 4.1→6.3M increased total consumption and absolute waste. [2]
- Recycling rate rose 12→38%, showing policy intervention diverted waste from landfill, yet per-capita still rose due to affluence. [2]
- Overall: increased urbanisation and income drove generation; recycling partially offset but not enough. [1]
Marking: 1 mark per valid causal point linked to data; final synthesis 1.
Q2 [5 marks]
Teaching note: Informal waste picking = unregulated recovery by marginalised groups.
- Characteristic 1: Low wages / insecure income → sustains poverty, limits social sustainability. [2]
- Characteristic 2: Recovers recyclables without protective gear → health risk, yet reduces landfill pressure (environmental benefit). [2]
- Link: Shows tension between liveability (for pickers) and sustainability. [1]
Q3 [6 marks]
Eval structure: Judgment + strengths/limits each + compare.
- Resource A: useful (official stats, clear output) but limited (self-reported, no spatial detail). [2]
- Resource B: useful (visual change evidence, independent) but limited (cannot show service access, only housing). [2]
- Overall: complementary; B shows physical upgrade, A confirms service gain; together moderately useful. [2]
Q4 [7 marks]
Analyse extent:
- Positive: 22 ha green space, active mobility +70% cuts transport emissions; PM2.5 −9% (graph). [3]
- Limits: 9% small vs citywide; solar lighting minor vs total energy; reimaging may raise land values, displacing poor. [3]
- Extent: moderate contribution to environmental sustainability, social equity less clear. [1]
Q5 [7 marks]
Eval statement:
- For: women bear care burden, exposed to unsafe waste sites; gender-sensitive siting improves liveability. [3]
- Against/limit: adds cost, may not address root consumption. [2]
- Judg: essential in social dimension, but must pair with technical measures. [2]
Section B Answers
Q6 [8 marks]
Describe + explain:
- Pattern: A (58) > B (41) > C (19); higher income = more plastic waste. [2 desc]
- Explain A: high consumption, packaging culture, formal collection enables measurement. [2]
- Explain C: lower income, less packaged goods, informal reuse. [2]
- Note: collection type affects data visibility. [2]
Q7 [6 marks]
- Reason 1: Informal sector means waste not captured in stats; actual leakage to environment high. [3]
- Reason 2: Low absolute waste due to deprivation, not good management; liveability low. [3]
Q8 [6 marks]
Eval claim:
- Challenge: elderly-friendly transport (e.g., lifts) uses energy but reduces car use; net may help. [3]
- Counter: poor design wastes resources. Conclusion: not always; depends on strategy. [3]
