- Concentration: the main trend of population change during
the nineteenth century was the increasing concentration in urban centers.
- This trend is indicated , for example, in the pattern of change
due to net migration in the decade 1851-1861.
- On the map for this period, the London area, in particular,
shows the building concentration in most districts due to in -migrration.
- A few districts foreshadow a later trend of dispersion
- Dispersion: by the beginning of the 20th century, a new pattern
of dispersion begins to take hold, as urban populations shift from
central to outlying districts. In the later maps, dispersion is particularly
in evidence in
- in the North, from Hartepool on the eastern coast to Liverpool
on the western coast
- in Greater London and the Southeast.
- The importance of rail: this dispersion was greatly facilitated
by railways (and tramways), for the extension of rail and the introduction
of inexpensive "communting service" permitted permitted
people to live further from their places of work.
