Unit 6 – Cities and Urban Land–Use
Topic 6.4
Why might Christaller's Central Place Theory not always accurately describe urban hierarchy?
There are no central places or hierarchical structures in reality.
All cities occupy an equally important position in any geographic area.
Real-world landscapes are complex and don't perfectly fit the assumptions made by this idealized model.
All cities develop according to external forces, never internal dynamics.
