AP Human Geography
Unit 6 – Cities and Urban Land–Use
Topic 6.5
Why does Christaller's Central Place Theory fall short when applied to real-world settlements?
Because it completely neglects the role trade plays in determining settlement hierarchies and distributions.
Because it overemphasizes economic factors influencing settlement patterns at expense of cultural ones.
Because it misrepresents how distance decay impacts service provision within settlements.
Because it assumes an isotropic surface for settlements which is unrealistic as natural topography varies greatly.
