Concentrated in the cities (only 2% live in rural areas) Concentrated in England (less in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) About 45% live in Greater London 80% of the total black African population in Greater London Other regions: West Midlands, Yorkshire, North-West England (esp Pakistani) Scotland: only 1.25% of the population

  10. Brick Lane, Bangla town

  11. Why do ethnic minority people live in particular areas? 1. “Choice” theory: they prefer (social support, same language, religion, culture) 2. “Constraint” theory: they must (low economic position, lack of info about housing opportunities, fear of discrimination)

  12. Social trends Long term projections: peak around 2050, then slow fall An increasing number of old people (1 in 6 in 2000 aged 65 and over) A move away from cities and larger towns, a decrease in large industrial areas, an increase in rural and suburban areas of the South (changes in employment opportunities) Retired people to the south coast A growing multicultural society (projections: minority ethnic population will double by 2020 - higher birth rate)
