    Core Periphery (Regional Planning)

    The document discusses John Friedmann's core-periphery model of regional development which divides regions into four types: 1) The core region which is the focus of economic, political, and social activity. 2) The upward transitional region which is growing and transitioning industries. 3) The resource frontier which is sparsely populated with little development. 4) The downward transitional/peripheral region which has a declining economy and population. The core-periphery model is used to explain patterns of development both within and between regions characterized by centralized power from the core dominating surrounding rural areas.

    CORE PERIPHERY

    By: JOHN FRIEDMANN


    HISTORY

    • J. Friedmann maintained that the world can be divided


    into four types of region.

    1. The core region


    2. The upward transitional region
    3. The downward transitional region
    4. The resource frontier

    • Core–periphery models were used in the late 1950s to


    explain uneven development and relations of dependency
    within countries, particularly in developing economies
    where the gradual achievement of economic “equilibrium”
    between areas was patently absent.
    DEFINITION

    • Describe situations • The core periphery


    in which centralized model is a paradigm
    economic and commonly employed to
    explain varying patterns
    political power— of development, both
    such as that of a within and between
    capital city— regions
    dominates a
    surrounding, often
    rural area.
    The Core Periphery Model
    of Regional Development
    • A. The core region – the focus of
    economic, political, and social
    activity

    • B. The upward transitional


    region – a growing economy and
    a transition from primary to
    secondary and tertiary industries

    • C. The resource frontier –


    sparsely populated with little
    development

    • D. The downward
    transitional/peripheral region –
    characterized by a declining
    economy and dwindling population
    ADVANTAGE

    As viewed from Modernization Theory


    A more ‘conventional’ view, Modernization
    Theory contends that:
    • Economic disparities result from a state of
    underdevelopment; that is, a lack of utilization of
    available resources
    • The core invests capital in the periphery in order
    to utilize its resources
    • Economic growth of the periphery results from
    investments made utilizing the profits generated
    by the sale of resources
    • As a result, economic imbalances are temporary
    DISADVANTAGE

    As viewed from Dependency Theory


    The theory contends that:

    • Economic disparities between the core and


    the periphery are purposeful
    • The core exploits the periphery in order to
    benefit from its wealth
