Ch. 12. 2 Why are consumer services distributed in a regular pattern? Central place- a market center for the exchange of goods and services by people attracted from the surrounding area. Central place theory- a geographic concept that seeks to explain how services are distributed and why a regular pattern of settlements exists. Proposed by Walter Christaller in the 1930s. Christaller?s theory states that cities and services have a hierarchical setup. That is that the largest cities have the most services with the largest range, and their range overlaps those of smaller settlements which are spaced at even intervals between the mega-cities. Market area- hinterland; the area surrounding a service from which customers are attracted.
