High technology location and the urban areas of Great Britain
Begg, I.G.
High technology location and the urban areas of Great Britain - 1988 - Urban Studies 25 1988, 361-379(19) .
High technology manufacturing and services are not evenly distributed throughout Great Britain. London and the South East dominate with almost half of all the high technology workforce: the rest of the South East, East Anglia and the South West have relative concentrations of high technology. In terms of urban areas, none of the evidence and statistical testing suggests any correlation between location of high technology manufacturing and city size. High technology services do, however, appear to prefer larger cities and reject locations which contain a high proportion of traditional economic activities but are more likely to be found where producer services are also concentrated.
