Book

A new social atlas of Britain

Abstract:
Through the use of new mapping techniques, in particular cartogrammetry, this book depicts the social geography of Britain at a highly detailed level. Using the administrative area of the ward as its basis for study; and using data from three national censuses together with employment, housing, education, finance and health records; this study reveals new patterns of social and ethnic population structure and precise representations of socioeconomic segregation. The book is divided into seven chapters dealing with population, demography, economic patterns, housing, health, society and politics respectively. Data is systematically presented in the form of coloured cartograms. A rigorous analysis of ward by ward data is presented for each section, covering a wide range of criteria. Explanations of the techniques used to create the cartograms are given.
