AP Human Geography
Unit 6 – Cities and Urban Land–Use
Topic 6.4
Why might Christaller's Central Place Theory not always accurately describe urban hierarchy?
Real-world landscapes are complex and don't perfectly fit the assumptions made by this idealized model.
There are no central places or hierarchical structures in reality.
All cities develop according to external forces, never internal dynamics.
All cities occupy an equally important position in any geographic area.
