1. Colonial Cities
* Cities with origins of colonial
trade or administration
* Newly independent countries have
renamed the place-names to
reflect local culture and history
* Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata
used to be Bombay, Madras,
and Calcutta

US and Canada were most often
port locations

James River.

7. Shock City
• Urban place experiencing infrastructural
challenges related to massive and rapid
urbanization (usually environmental, like
Chicago and Cleveland experienced)

Green Belts
• A ring of land maintained as parks,

limit the sprawl of an urban area.

The Rank Size Rule
Zipfs Rank Size Rule
“If all the settlements of a country are ranked
according to population size, the sizes of
settlements will be inversely proportional to their
rank”
OR
The nth settlement will be 1/n the population of the
largest settlement

Rank-Size Rule
Rank-Size Rule: n th-
largest settlement is 1/n
the population of the
largest settlement. In
other words, 2nd largest
is 1/2 the size of largest.
Works best in most
developed countries that
have full distribution of
services.

Why is Germany a better fit?
Clue - think about its political set up
Germany is made up of Federal
States rather like the United States
![Page 15: Hierarchy of Urban Areas based on Population ...mrsichakpchs.weebly.com/uploads/1/1/2/3/11239671/... · Rank-Size Rule Rank-Size Rule: n th-largest settlement is 1/n the population](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042023/5e7a7b1ac7fe9a0c0a2c5637/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Because……..
• Germany is run on a Federal system of
Regions, each with their own capital city
• This means each city has developed high
order services of their own, instead of
centralising them on one capital city such as
London.
• Germany also used to be split in two, with 2
capitals Berlin in the East and Bonn in the
West.

Primate City RuleLargest settlement in a country has more than twice the
number as the second ranking city. These cities tend to
represent the perceived culture of the country.
Largest City Population Second-largest City Population
Paris 9 million Marseille 2 million
London 9 million Birmingham 2 million

Peak Land Value Intersection
• The most accessible and costly parcel of
land in the central business
• district and, therefore, in the entire
urbanized area.

Economic Base
• the manufacturing and service activities
performed by the basic sector; functions of
a city to satisfy demands, earning income to
support the urban population
