Central Place TheoryCentral Place Theory

► A theory of Walter Christaller that seeks to explain the relative size and spacing of towns and cities as a function of people’s shopping behavior.

► The smallest settlements in an urban system will provide only those goods and services that meet everyday needs (bakery and diary products, and groceries) and that these small settlements will be situated relatively close to one another because consumers, assumed to be spread throughout the countryside, will not be prepared to travel far for such items. On the other hand, people will be willing to travel farther for more expensive, less frequently purchased items usually found in the larger settlements.
