AP Human Geography
Unit 1 – Thinking Geographically
Topic 1.3
Why does Christaller's Central Place Theory often fail to accurately predict settlements' size and distribution?
The theory incorrectly assumes that all settlements are self-sufficient.
It relies too heavily on historical population data which can be unreliable or incomplete.
Real-world complexities such as physical geography are not accounted for by the theory.
The theory underestimates the role of trade relations within settlements.
