Core-Periphery Model

The Core-Periphery Model explains how economic, political, and cultural activities are distributed in a geographical area. In this model, the "core" refers to urban, developed regions that are economically strong and have high levels of innovation, while the "periphery" consists of rural, less-developed areas that are often dependent on the core. This relationship can lead to unequal resource distribution, with the core attracting talent and investment, while the periphery may struggle with poverty and limited opportunities. Understanding this model helps us analyze regional development and address economic disparities.
