Revise

This week you will revise economic futures in the UK (as part of The Changing Economic World unit). It would help if you covered the following:

• causes of economic change: de-industrialisation and decline of traditional industrial base, globalisation and government policies
• moving towards a post-industrial economy: development of information technology, service industries, finance, research, science and business parks
• impacts of industry on the physical environment.
• An example of how modern industrial development can be more environmentally sustainable.
• social and economic changes in the rural landscape in one area of population growth and one area of population decline
• improvements and new developments in road and rail infrastructure, port and airport capacity
• the north–south divide – strategies used in an attempt to resolve regional differences
• the place of the UK in the wider world. Links through trade, culture, transport, and electronic communication. Economic and political links: the European Union (EU) and Commonwealth.

Use one of the four strategies below to revise these areas.
