Urban and Economic Geography

Our second human geography workshop extends the concepts from the first into the realms of cities and the economy. The urban geography section investigates both the spatial structure of cities (e.g. zoning, urban structure models) and also why cities are located where they are. The economic geography section looks at the spatial distribution of wealth, the major sectors of the economy (primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary), transportation and trade, and the interlinkages between economic geography and both global development and deindustrialization.
