Case study of industry in a MEDC

Page 4: Satellite image Built up area Dry grassland Intensive farming Forest Silicon valley.

Silicon Valley is south of San Francisco Bay and is really called

the Santa Clara Valley

Page 5: Satellite image Built up area Dry grassland Intensive farming Forest Silicon valley.

This is the U.S.A.’s main area for computer technology and

aerospace hardware

Page 6: Satellite image Built up area Dry grassland Intensive farming Forest Silicon valley.

All these products are based on the silicon chip. The area is close to 3 universities which provide research facilities and a skilled workforce.

Page 7: Satellite image Built up area Dry grassland Intensive farming Forest Silicon valley.

It is near to 3 major airports and a major freeway linking San

Francisco and LA.

Page 8: Satellite image Built up area Dry grassland Intensive farming Forest Silicon valley.

It is near the Pacific Coast surf beaches and skiing in the Sierra

Many hi-tech companies are located here

The building where Hewlett and Packard began in 1963 was little

Silicon Valley is now suffering from high levels of congestion and land values as building spreads across

orchards and farmland

Page 15: Satellite image Built up area Dry grassland Intensive farming Forest Silicon valley.

San Jose is the capital of Silicon Valley

Page 16: Satellite image Built up area Dry grassland Intensive farming Forest Silicon valley.

Some companies are now building their own power stations to overcome energy shortages

1. Design a poster (with a sketch-map) to attract high-tech companies to Silicon Valley.

2. Not everyone is happy about the growth of Silicon Valley. Mike Rochip is a local resident who intends writing to Arnold Schwarzenegger to complain. What points would he make in his letter? (Why write to Arnie?)
