摘要:The London School of Economics has a founding commitment to
understanding the causes of social and economic change. It works to show
changes in patterns of development internationally, whether at a large or
small scale.Within the UK and in the capital in particular, it tries to keep a
finger on the pulse of change and to influence both directly and indirectly
the development of policy. This series of briefs on the 2001 census will
present findings on population, on changes in the size and distribution of
minority ethnic groups, on tenure and household change and on
employment change, explaining their significance for wider changes. It will
also look at these changes at neighbourhood level, with a particular focus on
poorer neighbourhoods and how they have fared in comparison with their
surrounding district, city, region, and the country as a whole.This first brief
looks at changes in the distribution of population, focusing on urban and
regional growth and decline. It relates these trends to government policy in
the fields of economic growth, distribution of wealth, urban regeneration
and social policy.
