Category killer = single category big box (e. g. , home depot) that threatens the same department existing within department stores. Course emphasis: mostly private sector rather than public sector, mostly retail examples, mostly north american and european examples, mostly post 1950.

Describing point patterns: regular (uniform, clustered (linear clustered) Linear clustered population pattern around the golden horseshoe: random (dispersed) Distance decay curve (interaction vs. distance: with greater from the destination, there is a decrease in attraction, distance decay describes a pattern.
