Annales de Géographie - Année 1967 - Volume 76 - Numéro 417 - Pages 513-527The working population and british urban agglomerations. A geographical interpretation of the results of the 1961 census. (Abstract.) — The British census of 1961 provides a considérable documentation about the commuting habits of the working population, and, moreover, thèse data hâve been obtained using the same criteria as in the 1951 census. The author uses thèse results to détermine and map the sphères of influence of British urban agglomérations. To do this, he considers, in relative and absolute terms, the numbers of workers coming from each administrative unit around any given town. Norwich is a straight-forward example of an important provincial centre, Manchester and Liverpool pose the problem of two neighbouring sphères of influence coming into contact with each other, and the situation becomes more complicated in the Midlands around Derby, Nottingham and Leicester. 15 pages Source : Persée ; Ministère de la jeunesse, de l’éducation nationale et de la recherche, Direction de l’enseignement supérieur, Sous-direction des bibliothèques et de la documentation.
