Oxford-Cambridge Arc : ウィキペディア英語版
Oxford-Cambridge Arc

The Oxford-Cambridge Arc is a notional arc of agricultural and urban land at about 75km (about 50 miles) radius of London, southern England. It runs between the two English university towns of Oxford and Cambridge via Milton Keynes and other important settlements in Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire, at the northern rim of the London commuter belt. It is significant only in economic geography, with little physical geography in common.
The Oxford to Cambridge (O2C) Arc initiative was launched in 2003 by three English regional development agencies (RDAs), EEDA, EMDA and SEEDA. The aim of the initiative is to promote and accelerate the development of the unique set of educational, research and business assets and activities that characterise the area and in doing so, create an “arc” of innovation and entrepreneurial activity that would, in time, be ‘best in the field'. Indeed, the supporting RDAs have stated that they wish to see the O2C Arc evolve into Europe's premier knowledge-based economy with aspirations to be world-leading.
==Local industry==
The Arc is a major centre of the UK's high tech manufacturing and research industries. It is serviced by four international airports (Stansted, Luton, Heathrow and Birmingham), all located just outside the Arc itself. Cranfield Airport and Cambridge Airport takes executive jets. Cambridge Airport plans to operate passenger charter flights and (limited) scheduled flights. It is an important centre for aircraft maintenance.
Other major industries include agriculture, tourism, construction, entertainment, education, retail and finance. A high proportion of the population commutes daily to London. Commuting and business travel within the arc is relatively difficult: an EastWest railway service will not open before 2017 and then will go only between Oxford and Bedford; similarly, the A421/A428 road spine is dualled only from Cambridge to the M1 (with a further dualled section through Milton Keynes).
