stadiums located in
large urban areas with a
variety of good transport
links which will allow
spectators to travel
easily to the stadium
both from within and
outside Germany.
Level 7 students will
describe the interactions
between physical and
human processes and
identify how the location
of a stadium affects not
only the people living
there but people
elsewhere e.g. the
stadium is situated on
an area of relatively flat
land that has allowed a
large, fast transport
network to be developed

linking the city to the


other major German
cities. This allows
people to travel easily to
and from games to
spectate. In addition
workers can also travel
easily to and from the
stadium.
