Abstract
THE Social Science Department of the University of Liverpool continues to carry on its invaluable work in war-time, and in the latest volume in the New Merseyside Series, the Statistics Division has made an important contribution to the local planning which must be undertaken within the scope of national planning principle. “The Distribution of Population and the Location of Industry on Mersey-side”, by W. Smith (Liverpool: University Press of Liverpool. 5s. net.), gives a clear and carefully drawn picture of the industrial features of the area as they were on the eve of the War. Mr. Smith indicates the elements of change as well as of stability, and this admirable analysis of the industrial and social pattern of Merseyside should stimulate research workers in other areas to bring up to date, so far as possible, parallel investigations in their own areas, in order to provide the factual basis for any detailed attempt to plan the post-war location of industry.
