Tertiary and Quaternary Industry in the UK, 1990 - Present Day
Subjects / Geography / Development
Industrial activity changes over time as a result of development and new technologies. Industry has changed in the UK and the employment sector today looks very different to what it was in the past. Industry has become footloose, meaning that it is no longer tied to a particular location. As a result new 'sunrise' industries have emerged. Light manufacturing has taken over from traditional heavy industry and the tertiary sector has developed, as more people are involved in providing services to consumers. A brand new sector has even appeared since 1990. The quaternary sector employs highly skilled people to research and develop innovative new ideas and technologies. These changes have brought new business parks and science parks, in which footloose industries can locate. This title will use the case studies of Aztec West Business Park and Cambridge Science Park.
