Abstract: High technology manufacturing and services are not evenly spread throughout Great Britain. London and the rest of the South East dominate with almost half of all the high technology workforce: the rest of the South East, East Anglia and the South West have relative concentrations of high technology. In terms of urban areas, none of the evidence and statistical testing suggests any correlation between the location of high technology manufacturing and city size. High technology services do, however, appear to prefer larger cities. Both high technology manufacturing and services reject locations which contain a high proportion of traditional economic activities but are more likely to be found where producer services are also concentrated.
