McCulloch's model of urban growth

McCulloch's model of urban growth suggests that city development mainly occurs through a process of self-reinforcement. As a city expands, it attracts more people and businesses, which in turn encourages further growth due to increased opportunities and resources. This creates a positive feedback loop where growth fuels more growth. The model emphasizes factors like location, economic activities, and infrastructure, showing how initial advantages can lead to concentrated urban centers, while areas lacking these benefits tend to remain less developed or rural. It highlights the dynamic and interconnected nature of urban expansion driven by economic and spatial factors.
