An increase in the proportion of people living in towns and cities

5

Urban Growth

The increase in the size of a particular settlement or an increase in the number of people living in urban centres.

hierarchy of settlement

  • the arrangement of a settlement in terms of its importance or significance, based on the area and population of the settlement

  • the range and number of services/functions within each settlement, the relative sphere of influence in each settlement

8

sphere of influence

distance people are willing to travel in order to get to a certain place, based on threshold population and range

New cards
9

threshold population

minimum number of people needed to support a settlement, or a service

New cards
10

range

maximum distance people are willing to travel to obtain a particular service

New cards
11

high order goods

comparison goods that are not purchased often, and has a higher threshold population

New cards
12

low order goods

convenience goods that are used regularly and prices are not needed to be compared, has a smaller threshold population and located in smaller settlements

New cards
13

bid-rent theory

theory shows how the price and demand for land changes as the distance from the Central Business District (CBD) increases

New cards
14

assumptions made by the bid-rent theory

the highest bidder gets the land and is expected to obtain maximum profit from the land

New cards
15

population density hollow

caused by the bidding process of land in the central business district, in the PLVI, residential land is usually outbid retailing and office space in the CBD

New cards
16

describe and draw the distance decay model

the model explains why population density is high near the city centre and why wealth people live near the city boundary and commute to the city, shops and offices can afford high land values of the CBD, industry cannot afford the highest land values so it is found away from the CBD, housing can only afford low land values

peak landmarks value intersection (PVLI)

a location within a city or an urban area where land values are at their highest point, result of various factors such as high demand for certain types of land use, proximity to amenities and services, transportation infrastructure and overall desirability of the location

New cards
18

nodality

the degree of connectedness a location has in relation to transport

New cards
19

urban morphology

refers to the communications shape and appearance of urban land uses

New cards
20

patterns of land reflect land values

businesses within the CBD have greater levels of accessibility and therefore attract more businesses and make more money, land value falls rapidly when moved away from the CBD
