Popis: People have been leaving rural environments and moving into urban environments. By 2007, the most people in the world will live in cities (United Nations 2002). Mexico illustrates this world trend closely. Mexico now publishes data on the Internet that can be used to study the movement of people within the country. A lesson is presented with selected new data connecting regional migration and job opportunities. Students create choropleth maps, analyze patterns, and make generalizations about patterns and processes.
