20. Economic Geography
How is land allocated among the many
human activities competing for it?
Is there any predictable/logical pattern
that emerges due to this competition?
22. rural land use theory (19th century)
urban land use theory (20th century)
both are closely related
challenges the same, but urban is vastly
more complicated
Evolution of Land Use Theory
23. What determines how land is used?
Rural - what type of primary activities is
land used for?
Urban - commercial, residential,
transportation, wholesaling, retail,
warehousing, manufacturing, recreation,
etc......
Suburban?
24. How much land is available/needed for a
particular use?
25. Economic Space of Land
Quality - site characteristics
Location - its utility in relationship to
other activities
30. Sometimes quality and location
are at odds with each other.

31. extensive - large quantities of land are
required relative to labor and capital
expenses
intensive - little land is used with increased
costs for labor and capital expenses
Extensive vs. Intensive
32. Bid-Rent Theory
The price and demand for land changes
with distance from the CBD.
Different land uses will compete for
desirable pieces of property in order to
maximize profits.
Accessibility increases the potential for
more customers.
There is a trade-off between accessibility
and cost of land.
