central place theory  

Définition(s)

  • Central place theory, developed by the German geographer Walter Christaller as his doctoral dissertation, Central Places in Southern Germany in 1933, was a highly influential set of models widely used to describe and analyze urban hierarchies in the mid 20th century. Essentially, central place theory is a model of city systems that posits them as retail centers (central places) that distribute goods and services to their surrounding hinterlands.
