Homework
for Tues 9th Jan 2007
Britain's
Renovation of its Industrial Areas
Work
in pairs to write or type a short essay on how some of
Britain's old, run-down industrial areas ( docks , factories,
power stations etc) have become attractive business and
tourist destinations with
offices, restaurants, art galleries, museums, pedestrian
walkways etc.
A short introduction should mention the Industrial
Revolution of the 18th & 19th centuries (which we're
studying next in class) and the decline of these traditional
industries in the 1970s & 1980s (look at Geography
notes).
A short conclusion should mention how this renovation
is an example of how a service economy is replacing
an indusrial economy , giving hope to poorer ,
run down areas of the UK (and other countries).
Add
pictures, maps and sources of information. Length : 4
sides max.
Here
are some links to help you but you can take examples from
other cities like Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle or Glasgow
.
