A Joey Limmena Production

BASIC INFORMATION
Core & Peripheral Core Locations:
Highly Industrial Great Economic Stance Globalized E.g. Brasilia (Capital), Rio de Janeiro [Brazil]

Peripheral Locations:
Agricultural Poor Economic Stance Isolated

BASIC INFORMATION (CONT.)

Measurements:
Towns & Cities Global Scale

Stages
Level 1-4

Movement from Peripheral to Core

THE STAGES
Stage 1 (Pre-Industrial)
Agricultural Isolated

Stage 2 (Transitional)
Beginning to Advance Increase in Interactivity (Trade etc.) Developing Basic Technologies Beneficial Health Access

THE STAGES (CONT.)

Stage 3 (Industrial):
Technology Developed More People Have Access to Health Economy Starts to Build Stability

Stage 4 (Post-Industrial):
Self-Sufficient (Sustainable) Inequalities and Issues Remotely Resolved Interconnected Globally

MOVEMENT TO THE CORE

Peripheral Population Drift Towards the Core and thus Helping/Weakening such Location E.g. Brazil
Rural Population Move to Brasilia, Sao Paulo etc. Core Area:
Unwanted Employment Taken Up Large Workforce Overcrowding Resource Deficit (Lack of Housing, Food etc.)

Peripheral Area:
Loss of Youthful Population Educational Potential

STRENGHTS
Realistic Easy to Follow/Understand Reasonable Good Representation

WEAKNESSES
Focuses on Economic Input to Generate Varied Output Hard to Determine Differences Between Stages (Stage 2 & 3) Explanations are Interpreted

PERSONAL JUDGEMENT
Too Narrow Does Not Focus on all Aspects (Environmental, Social etc.)
