Mapping inequality in the UK

Sarah Best

13th December 2019

This video from The Financial Times looks how maps can be used to map social inequality and poverty in the UK.

I posted in early November about how the social reformer Charles Booth mapped London in the Victorian era, but modern technology can now make this process much easier and quicker.

This video and accompanying article could be used for the Work, Poverty and Welfare unit (distribution of poverty, wealth and income between social groups).
