Document Summary
So dominant is this subregion of the united kingdom that the entire country is sometimes referred to by this name. Small wonder: england is anchored by the huge london metropolitan area, which by itself contains more than one-seventh of the uk"s total population. Indeed, along with new york, london is regarded as one of the most prominent leading world-cities, with financial, high-technology, communications, engineering, and related industries reflecting the momentum of its long-term growth and agglomeration. Inequality in england has also been on the rise between rich and poor within regions and cities. This became painfully clear when the country was rocked by violent riots in london and many other cities during the summer of 2011. These riots were triggered by the police shooting of a biracial man in. London, but the deeper causes were generally said to lie within the growing socioeconomic polarization among england"s classes.
