GEOG 1213 Students
Note the following:

1. These terms come from Economic Geography, Chapters 6-8. A copy of the text is available on two-hour reserve at Bizzell Library for those who do not have a text. Other terms will come from the urban geography handout, retail location handout, and shopping center presentations/discussions.
2. The format of the test will be multiple-choice and true/false with essay questions. You must study all items carefully, for each question will have one correct answer and three distractors. There will be no "all of the above" or "all except c" type answers on the exam.
3. You must use No. 2 pencils to mark the answer sheet.
4. Some terms will not be discussed until shopping center presentations are finished. Other terms must be learned from your reading.
5. Potential essay questions will not be provided until the shopping center presentations are complete.

1. We often assume that shopping centers must serve an immediate and often fixed population. Based on class presentations, what types of firms and/or shopping centers render this assumption false? Why?
2. Briefly discuss the three urban land use models. What is the rationale of these theories? Be sure to include the role of time in your evaluation.
3. Based on in-class presentations, synthesize Norman's socio-economic make-up, assuming that shopping centers adequately depict marketing areas.
4. Comment on the following phrase from The Death and Life of Great American Cities: "...the need of cities for a most intricate and close-grained diversity of uses that give each other constant mutual support, both economically and socially." Do you agree? Why or why not?
5. Do you feel that the Edge City concept builds on Jane Jacob's notion for mixed land use? What role does the shopping center play?
