Step 1Raw Materials
Step 2 Transporation
• Invented boxes to cut the transportation in the great bulk cargo
• Physical distance
• Economic Distance: how much does it cost you to get from one place to another
Eg: taxi fares
• Social Distance
• Change in the human geography,
o panama canal
o Arctic sea
• TRANSPORTATION GEOGRAPHY plays a very crucial role in the economy

• Spatial Patters
o Cheapest places: China
o One child policy
• Gender Dynamics
• Internal Immigration System
• Making people vulnerable with the threat of deporting them : Make labour cheap
• Geeen LABOUR
• Putting it all together
o Supply ans demand
o Pop change
o Gender politics

• Sillicon Valley
o Why There?
▪ U“A NA“A: pupig oey ito ioovatis.
▪ Govt gave huge grants
▪ Go TO THE WEST TO CREATE SOMETHING NEW” ; new and different
▪ Cheap land in silicon valley
▪ Stanford university, uni industry partnerships
▪ Random case of William shockleys mother
▪ William shocklet: invented transisters
▪ Initial advantage: William shockleys arrogance
Agglomeration: the clustering togrther of the functionally related activities (eg many
companies sell the same thing)
- Advantages:
- Agglomeration Diseconomies
- Negative economic effects of the urbanization and the local conc of the industry.
