    Ecological effects of increasing


    population on agriculture (rural land
    use)
    Concentric Zone-grows out from CBD
    5 zones, transition- industry/poor
    housing, stable working class,
    middle class, commuter zone,
    suburbs
    Studied changing Agricultural
    practices in Gambia- as agriculture
    changed/progressed so did the
    culture, especially women
    Technopoles-high technology locates
    near sites of higher education and
    agglomerate to utilize highly skilled
    workers
    Central Place Theory- Urban
    hierarchy, range, threshold, low order
    goods, high order goods. Hexagon
    shapes-trade shapes
    Nostratic language family is a protoIndo-European language

    Culture is learned-agreed with


    Hoebel. How culture creates different
    patterns and landscapes
    Multiple nuclei model-modern cities
    develop with many nodes. Cities
    within cities
    The evolution of boundaries

    Formalized the transition


    from extensive subsistence
    forms of agriculture to more
    intensive cultivationincreased productivity
    counters loss of fertility
    Soil degradation- pressure
    to produce more leads to
    soil depletion
    Helps to determine use and
    value of land surrounding
    cities. Transportation has

    Sector model- sectors not rings,


    certain areas are more attractive-as
    city grows outward-beat housing
    corridor from CBD out, industry and
    retail develop in sectors along
    transportation routes
    Culture is a learned behavior.
    Culture is wholly the result of social
    invention and is transmitted and
    maintained solely through
    communication and learning
    Environmental determinism-climate
    and terrain were a major determinant

    Every country has a Primate city.


    Rank size rule-2nd largest city is the
    size of the primate city, 3rd largest
    city is 1/3 the size of the Primate city

    Neo Malthusians- Kaplan,

    try unhealthy habits of progresssmoke, drink ect
    Cities are products of societies (4

    control of epidemics. Link between
    water supply and cholera. Mapped
    cholera deaths and location of water
    wells/pumps
    Rimland theory- Eurasian rim not the
    heartland is/was the key to global
    power. Who controls the Rimland
    rules Eurasia. Who rules Eurasia
    controls the destinies of the world
    Possibilism-Human/environmental
    Interaction-Humans have a wide
    range of potential actions within an
    environment- they respond based on
    their value systems, attitudes and
    culture attributes
    Agricultural theory (concentric
    circles)
    1. City center
    2. Market gardening
    3. Forest
    4. Grains
    5. Ranching
    Core Periphery model- Core-MDChigh socioeconomic level. PeripheryLDC-dependent on the core, supplier
    of raw materials and labor

    Location of industry-Least cost theory


    Agglomeration-people and activities
    concentrate in a location where they
    can share facilities and services

    off
    3. Take off
    4. Maturity
    5. Mass consumption

    Distribution of agricultural
    activities around a city
    depends on bulk and
    perishability of products

    EX: auto industry-clustered


    near Detroit- automakers,
    labor, supplier of car parts,
    transportation. Location
    depends on raw materials,
    markets and labor
