Location conditions and development of world-famous industrial zones

Location conditions of Ruhr-gebiet: 1.

Abundant coal resources

2. Close to the iron ore area.

Abundant water sources

4 Convenient water transportation

5 Broad market

Development Status: The people of Ruhr seized the favorable opportunity of the world economic transformation, realized the strong economic development of Ruhr, stimulated the rapid growth of urban population, and became the "engine" of the strong economic development of Germany. At the same time, they pay attention to environmental protection, control pollution, promulgate environmental laws, and rebuild the beautiful scenery of Ruhr. In terms of industrial development, they rationally adjusted the industrial system and increased investment in infrastructure.

Location conditions of industrial zone in the northeastern United States: 1 Rich in coal, iron ore and water resources.

2 Convenient and cheap water transportation conditions

There are many cities and a vast market.

4. The origin of dairy products and the supply of non-staple food are convenient.

The area where European immigrants first arrived was the area where American capitalism developed earliest.

Development Status: Since 1980s, American industrial development has been in an unbalanced state. On the one hand, traditional industries are facing fierce competition from emerging international industrial countries such as Japan, Western Europe and some developing countries, and are in a state of decline, which makes some basic industries such as steel, automobiles, certain chemicals and machinery manufacturing stagnate. On the other hand, in California and other States along the western Pacific, some emerging military-related departments, such as aircraft, missiles, electronics and atomic energy, have made great progress, forming a high-tech electronic industrial zone centered on Los Angeles. The emerging industries with high-tech industry as the core and called "Silicon Valley" are showing a vigorous and upward trend. Due to the single industrial structure, serious environmental pollution, traffic congestion, tax increase, high land price and high cost of living, the industries in the south and west, known as the "sunshine zone", have developed rapidly, and the development speed is much faster than that in the northeast, so they are called "sunset industries". Especially in the middle and late 20th century, a large number of factories in the northeastern United States closed down, the unemployment rate continued to rise, and the abandoned factory equipment was rusty. People vividly call this area the "rust belt".

The above two industrial zones belong to traditional industrial zones, such as the central industrial zone in Britain and the central industrial zone in Russia. Emerging industrial zones include Italy's emerging industrial zones and Silicon Valley in the United States.
