Background

You are expected to do your coursework about an issue that is important and relevant to your life / other people, therefore you need to explain why your coursework is relevant. Some people might call this the rationale - the reason behind doing something.

You need to write a paragraph to put your work ‘in context’. This means explaining why it is useful to study towns and cities and how people live in them…………… So, you could explain that most people do live in urban areas, so there must be some good reasons why. Say what you think these reasons are.
