2. Revision – how and why places vary

3. Changing employment Changing types of employment
Recent growth of quaternary and quinary industry
Mechanisation of ag and ind means less employment, Increasing wealth > afford better servicves, better education > R+D, globalisation and foreign competition > decline of secondary industry

4. Spatial variations
Functions of places – determined by economic factors, also by people who live there
Comparison between London and North West
These can change over time – eg decline of manufacturing industry in northern UK cities, result of globalisation and changes in UK as moved to post industrial economy

Globalisation – eg factory closures, migration
Changes in accessibility – both in transport and IT – enable homeworking
Government plans – eg ‘northern powerhouse’, closure of rail lines in 1960s led to decline of railway towns
Growth of north-south divide in UK – with overheated SE and northern towns left behind
