What is de-industrialisation?

• Definition: the decline in industrial activity in a region or an economy

• This is when a country’s manufacturing base shrinks i.e. there is less manufacturing industry and factories close down

• UK and EU suffered large scale de-industrialisation between 1975 and 1985

• Most severe was in older heavier industries such as iron and steel and ship building

• Given that our lifestyles have changed, it makes sense that our industry (where people work) has also changed.

• It happened in the UK in the 1970’s-1990’s

Footloose industries

• Definition: Footloose industries can locate anywhere, their success does not depend on location.

• This is what has happened in the present day – businesses are rarely tied to raw materials or forced to have an office locally because of where the workers live, as they were in the past.

Land use in the UK has changed significantly over the last 30 years…

1. Increased demand for housing by the UK population (we have already looked at the social, economic and political reasons for this)

2. There has been de-industrialisation with manufacturing moving from urban areas in the UK, to LICs, where production costs are much lower.
