# More Key Concepts

CPD: Organising a KS3 Geography Curriculum (by Kate Stockings), topic 1.2.3

## 2007 Geography National Curriculum

In the 2007 Geography National Curriculum, seven key geographical concepts were named. This list leans towards the more abstract of geography’s key concepts (Brooks, 2018).

### Place

![Place](https://image-v2.cdn.app.senecalearning.com/memory-location-images/Potala%20Palace,%20Tibet-min.jpg)

- How every place has unique physical and human characteristics which can be interpreted and represented in different ways.

### Space

- How the locations of human and physical features are influenced by each other and often interact across space.

### Scale

- An influence on the way we think about what we see or experience. 
- Any geographical enquiry benefits from being viewed from a range of scales to develop an understanding of how these scales are interconnected.

### Interdependence

- How human action in one place has consequences somewhere else.

### Physical and human processes

- How processes cause change and can be used to explain patterns and distributions.

- Appreciating the possible tensions between economic prosperity, social fairness, and environmental quality. 
- The interaction of these factors provides the basis for understanding sustainable development.

### Cultural understanding and diversity
