Question

Disadvantages of delocalization of industries to a country

Answer 1

Explanation:

Disadvantages of localization

Adverse environmental problems: Concentration of firms in one region may have a negative impact on environment in that region e.g. emissions from

factories may cause both air and water pollution; there may also be noise pollution and poor disposal of refuse.

Unbalanced regional development: Localisation of firms may lead to regional imbalance in development.

For instance, areas of industrial concentration tend to enjoy provision of social amenities in terms of roads,schools, hospitals and other facilities while other regions suffer.

This may cause dissatisfaction among the citizens and disturb national cohesion and

unity.
