Interdependence
The dependence of two regions on each other for goods, labour and services.
Deindustrialisation in Birmingham
Importation of goods from foreign countries became cheaper than manufacturing them locally. Therefore many factories in the inner city began to close down and many people became unemployed and went into poverty. As the inner city areas became impoverished, other services such as shops and theatres began to close down and relocate to outer city areas and so did the people ( counter-urbanisation). However Birmingham City Council is looking for ways to rebrand and regenerate the inner city areas to regrow the economy of the area.
Deprivation
Deprivation occurred in inner city Birmingham due to the movement of migrants. Migrants were usually young and had a young family or planning to. This would create a rapid population growth in areas that they settled in and the demand for services would rise. Therefore some areas are more deprived as they have low unemployment rates, more benefit claimants and low education standards due to the lack of services.
