Leeds is a city and
metropolitan borough in West Yorkshire, England. In 2001 Leeds' main
urban subdivision had a population of 443,247, whilst the entire
city, that includes the urban, suburban and rural areas, had a
population of 770,800 (2008 est.). Leeds is the cultural, financial
and commercial heart of the wider West Yorkshire Urban Area, which
at the 2001 census had a population of 1.5 million, and the Leeds
city region, an economic area with Leeds at its core, had a
population of 2.9 million. Leeds is the UK's largest centre for
business, legal, and financial services outside London,and according
to the most recent Office for National Statistics estimates, Leeds
is the fastest growing city in the UK.
Historically a part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, Leeds can trace
its recorded history to the 5th century when the Kingdom of Elmet
was covered by the forest of "Loidis", the origin of the name Leeds.
The name has been applied to many administrative entities over the
centuries. It changed from being the appellation of a small manorial
borough, in the thirteenth century, through several reincarnations,
to being the name attached to the present metropolitan borough. In
the 17th and 18th centuries Leeds became a major centre for the
production and trading of wool. Then, during the Industrial
Revolution, Leeds developed into a major industrial centre; wool was
still the dominant industry but flax, engineering, iron foundries,
printing and other industries were important.1 From being a compact
market town in the valley of the River Aire in the sixteenth century
Leeds expanded and absorbed the surrounding villages to become a
populous urban centre by the mid twentieth century.
The diverse array of landmarks, which includes rural open spaces and
impressive buildings, reflects both its industrial past and its many
current roles. The multicultural nature of the city is evidenced in
the range of religious buildings and cultural festivals present. The
internationally acclaimed University of Leeds, together with Leeds
Metropolitan University and Leeds Trinity University College has
made the city a major centre of higher education. The student
population has stimulated growth of the nightlife in the city and
there are ample facilities for sporting and cultural activities,
including classical and popular music festivals, and a varied
collection of museums.
Public transport, rail and road communications networks in the
region are focussed on Leeds and the number of twinning arrangements
with towns in other countries and its role in Leeds City Region
demonstrate the city's outward looking and positive attitude to
twenty first century global commercial and economic development. |
