Liverpool

• Stages:

  1. Industrialisation from global trade with migrants/factories
  2. Deindustrialisation as factories moved to NEEs and ports were too small causing mass unemployment
  3. Regeneration for tourism/entertainment caused inequality

  • deprived areas have lower qualifications/lower life expectancy
• Opportunities:

  • ethnic diversity attracts tourists which boosts business trade/provides jobs
  • largest China Town and migrations cause cultural mix
  • urban regeneration made tourist/entertainment centre which provides business/job opportunities
