There are basically seven factors that must be met before an industry can start to take place in a particular area. Those seven factors are: raw materials, transportation, energy, markets, labour, capital, and government. The Industrial Heartland is almost like one big industry, connected in a vast megalopolis. I'll be taking a closer look at these factors and the way this area meets the locational factors.         The Industrial Heartland is an area that includes: Quebec, …showed first 75 words of 715 total…

…showed last 75 words of 715 total…and police protection. Provincial-sets rules/regulations, so on, for the industry to obide by. Provide energy, employee-training, enforce labour laws, safety standards, & working conditions. Federal-provides carriage and facilities-finances the construction of highways, harbours and airports, and enforces tariff. The Industrial Heartland meets all it's locational factors, and provides many jobs for people in the region. I think transportation, markets, and population of this region has greatly contributed to the amount of industry within it.
