Jot down the reasons Liverpool has
declined
Liverpool- not such a
success??
But why?
1) Liverpool is not the
capital city
2) It is far away from
the core area of
western Europe- so
less businesses want
to base themselves
there, when compared
to the Location of
London
3) Less financial investment
4) Further away for immigration impact
5) Not such a well known heritage and
history as London
6) Less tourist visitors, thus less
investment
Examine how these processes
have led to variations in quality of
residential areas

O Lacking adequate food, shelter, education and health
care. It is a measure which takes into account different
measures of deprivation and produces an overall rating.

deprivation rating.
