@iScore5aphg #30facts30days Review Tweets Summary
Day 1 - World regions. How many regions can you name?
Day 2 - Formal, functional, perceptual regions
Functional - Cities and their trade areas.
Formal - Spread out traits. Ex. Texas, the Corn Belt,
Perceptual - Ex. US Midwest, British Midlands, SoCal
Day 3 - Demographic Transition Model.
1-5 stage characteristics. Examples
Day 4 - Epidemiological Transition Model & Migration Transition Model
ETM = Death causes per stage of DTM
MTM = Migration patterns per stage of DTM
Day 5 - Material culture & non-material culture
M = Art, architecture, dress, food, dance
NM = values, beliefs, feelings, identity
Relationship between the two?
Day 6 - Borders
Border making process? Define, Delimit, Demarcate
Borders at different scales - neighborhood property lines, zip codes, political districts, city limits, county lines, states, countries.
Border disputes -
Allocational - over resources
Definitional - over legal language of border
Day 7 - Agriculture, sustainability, GMO, biodiversity, local food, carbon footprint.
Day 8 - Adam's transportation model. Transportation modes influence shape and growth of the US city. Relation to Burgess, Hoyt, & Harris-Olhman. Relation to Borchert
Walk and horse = very high CBD density
Streetcar 1890-1920 = High CBD density with developing sectors along streetcar routes. Finger like development
Auto 1920-1950 = Moderate density as the city expands outward. Infilling between the fingers
Freeway 1950-present = low density outward along highways/interstates. Larger finger-like patterns along freeways that fill in later
Day 9 - Burgess & Chicago's urban evolution
Day 10 - Borchert's Transportation Epochs
Day 11 - Urban Realms Model. Conurbanination?
Day 12 - Latin American Urban Model is designed after Mexico City
Bonus - German immigrant ancestry in US - Upper Midwest, also Lutherans
Day 13 - New Urbanism, mixed use, low carbon, green belts, pedestrian & biking, place making and aesthetics
Bonus - Brain drain from Pakistan. 2.765 mil went abroad
Bonus - Preserving languages
Day 14 - Mental mapping. Local and global
Bonus - Pop/Folk. Dynamic/Static. Mobile/Immobile, Progressive/Conservative, Individual/Group, Gaining/Losing. Heterogenous/Homogenous. Diverse/Uniform
Day 15 - Population pyramids. LDC vs MDC. Problems with too much young and/or elderly populations. Dependency ratio. Japan's pop pyramid 1950-2050. Military and migrant worker towns have a disproportionate amount of adult males
Bonus - Millenials now officially the largest living generation
Day 16 - Zelinsky's Migration Transition. Migration patterns based on levels of development. Relation to DTM
Stage 1 – Migration for food rather than permanent migration
Stage 2 – High population, technological improvements lead to out-migration (emigration)
Stage 3 & 4 – Destination of migrants from stage 2 countries. Most internal migration is interregional. Cities to suburbs
Day 17 – Green Revolution. Stemmed hunger but created issues with environmental stress, gender inequity, sustainability. Father of Green Revolution is Norman Borlaug. He focused on Mexico, India, and Phillipines. Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) that financed the Green Revolution include Food and Agriculture Org of the UN (FAO), Ford Foundation, and Rockefeller Foundation. He won a nobel prize for his work in Mexico in 1970.
Day 18 – GMOs. Foreign genes of altered crops may come from bacteria, viruses, insects, animals or humans. Pros & Cons?
Day 19 – Von Thunen Model. Created pre-industrial economy. Assumed a centrally located city/market within an isolated state that was self-sufficient and surrounded by unoccupied wilderness, flat terrain with no rivers or natural barriers, consistent soil quality and climate. Transportation modes were oxcart w/ no roads, highways, railroads. No factories. Farmers transported own goods and acted to maximize their profit. Which costs were most important to the farmers? Contemporary examples of Von Thunen application?
Bonus – Bid-Rent Theory. Connection to Von Thunen? Urban applications today?
Bonus – White flight
Day 20 – South Asia – many languages, cultures, religions in India alone. Lots of ethnic conflict.
Day 21 – Containerization and intermodal transportation. Role of Globalization? Break of bulk points. Shipping routes. US has a trade imbalance so more containers sit here. This causes a rise in alternative uses for containers, like housing.
Day 22 - Religion. Distribution at various scales, global, US, Africa. Islam fastest growing. Religious diffusion (Islam, Buddhism)
Day 23 – UNCLOS = UN Conference Law of the Sea. Territorial sea – 12 miles. EEZ = Exclusive Economic Zones – 200 miles. Median-line principle. Issues vs. Truman Proclamation – US claimed exclusive jurisdiction over continental shelf. China’s territorial claims in the South China Sea/Spratley Islands and building of islands.
Day 24 - Centripetal vs Centrifugal forces. Different regions and examples? Risks of civil conflict around the globe. South Asia question from 2006 FRQ. Ethnic diversity through Southwest Asia. Europe.
Bonus: Gender, development, agriculture, population and women
Day 25 - Distance decay vs Friction of distance. Similarities? Differences? Threshold and ranges connection to friction of distance? How does time-space compression neutralize these concepts?
Day 26 - Placelessness. Loss of uniqueness in cultural landscape. Cultural landscape convergence. Link to urban sprawl, popular, globalized culture. Commodification. Interstate exits, inner cities, suburbs, spaces of consumption.
Bonus: Mothers Day.
Kids live close to home. Aren't moving away as much. Post-2008 Millenials in debt. Living close to home
Day 27 - FRQ verbs. Suggestions for underlining them when reading the question and using them as clues for how much and what to write. Most frequent verbs = Explain, identify, discuss, describe, define.
Day 28 - 10 interesting/fun maps
1. Terrible maps - Can you walk to Australia? - No but funny map @TerribleMaps is an amusing follow.
2. Every country/place is #1 in something - Saudi Arabia is oil. Brazil is FIFA World Cup Titles. India is movies
3. One border countries - Not many of them. Canada, UK, Ireland, Haiti, DemRep, Portugal, S.Korea, just to name a few
4. Landlocked countries -
6. What if US states were equal in population - a redrawing of states
7. Densities of cities & the world - If the world's pop lived in 1 city how dense would that city be?
8. Everyone who's immigrated to US since 1820 - we should know these trands from FRQs
9. Predominant ancestry in US - Germans dominate, Mexicans in SW, English & Irish in South & NE, Freench along Quebec border & Louisiana, Brits in Utah
10. Fun map - SuperBowl wins by country - USA, USA, USA!!!
Day 29 - Levels of economic activity. Primary through quinary. Connections to other concepts? DTM, Wallerstein, Rostow, Epediological transition, occupational structure of the labor force. Agricultural revolutions.
