Topic 7.2
Why might Christaller’s Central Place Theory be seen as problematic when applied to real world scenarios?
The model overlooks geographical variations and physical barriers affecting human settlement patterns.
Its assumption that consumers will always travel the least distance possible to purchase goods doesn't take into account personal consumer preferences.
It fails to address changes in population density over time.
The theory doesn't account for the role of technology in reducing the relevance of distance.
