People to know:•Carl Sauer: cultural landscape•Thomas Malthus: population growth faster than food supply would mean disaster•Rostow: stage of economic development•Wallerstein: core-periphery model•Von Thunen: location theory for agriculture•Weber: location theory for industry/manufacturing•Christaller : central place theory•Burgess: Concentric urban model•Hoyt: Sector: urban model•Harris Ullman : multiple nuclei urban model
• Carl Sauer: cultural landscape
• Thomas Malthus: population growth faster than food supply
• Rostow: stage of economic development
• US economist Walter Rostow, argued that countries would progress through five stages
Progressive stages of economic growth.
Rostow Model
Strength of the Modernization model:
• Over the long term, all countries are capable of development.
• It has proved to works for some countries: Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan (Asian Dragons) the American South, Czech Republic, Ireland
Rostow’s model did not account for regional constraints
• Wallerstein: core-periphery model
• Immanuel Wallerstein, a leading advocate of the approach characterizes the world system as a set of mechanisms which redistributes resources from the periphery to the core.
Dependency School of Thought/Model (1970s). Sees low development levels as
being a result of the LDCs economic dependency on the MDCs.

the choice of crops on the choice of crops on commercial farms(this commercial farms(this created a concentric created a concentric
pattern: circles sharing pattern: circles sharing the same centersthe same centers)
Because farmers must pay to transport their produce to the market, and these costs are directly proportional to distance, the profit for each product declines as a straight line with increasing distance from the market
Weber’s least cost theory accounted for the location of a manufacturing plant in terms of the owner’s desire to minimize
three categories of costs. 1. Transportation
2. Labor
3. Agglomeration
Do Activity
Weber's model attempts to explain industrial location.
Weber used locational triangles to illustrate
the impact of transport costs on industrial location.
A. Transporting raw materials cost the
same as the finished product
B. Transporting raw materials costs less
than finished product (maybe finished
product delicate/more packaging)
C. Transporting raw materials costs more than finished product
(loss in bulk)
D. More of raw material from R2 needed than R1
• Christaller : central place theory
• Burgess: Concentric urban model

• Harris Ullman : multiple nuclei urban model
