Central Place Theory - Criticism

Criticism

The Central Place Theory has been criticized for being static; it does not incorporate the temporal aspect in the development of central places. Furthermore, the theory holds up well when it comes to agricultural areas, but not industrial or postindustrial areas due to their diversified nature of various services or their varied distribution of natural resources.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:

    “... criticism ... makes very little dent upon me, unless I think there is some real justification and something should be done.”
    —Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)

    “As far as criticism is concerned, we don’t resent that unless it is absolutely biased, as it is in most cases.”
    —John Vorster (1915–1983)

    “...I wasn’t at all prepared for the avalanche of criticism that overwhelmed me. You would have thought I had murdered someone, and perhaps I had, but only to give her successor a chance to live. It was a very sad business indeed to be made to feel that my success depended solely, or at least in large part, on a head of hair.”
    —Mary Pickford (1893–1979)
