An urban geographer before his time
In 1930, a time when human geography was not considered to be among the emerging analytic social sciences and when urban geography barely existed as an identifiable subfield, C. Warren Thornthwaite, later a gargantuan figure in American climatology, was awarded a doctorate under Carl O. Sauer at the University of California, Berkeley. In his dissertation, ‘Louisville, Kentucky: a study in urban geography’, Thornthwaite analysed land-use zonation,…

Atlanta in the Telecommunications Age
This paper addresses the role of the Atlanta metropolitan area as a telecommunications center based on the use of fiber optics. The major focus is on the intrametropolitan layout of this network, including fiber-optic access points, downtown and suburban fiber loops, and the location of data service and teleservice centers. The aim is to identify congruence between high-technology firms and fiber-optic lines that produce clustering within the met…

Assessing the Role of Spatial Analysis in Urban Geography in the 1960s
Using content analysis, this study examines four leading geography journals and two regional science outlets for the number and kinds of urban geography articles published during the 1960s. Whereas the 1960s are typically portrayed as the heyday of the theoretical and quantitative revolution, a surprisingly large number of urban geography articles published during this time reflected a pre-1958 research mode. The Professional Geographer, for exam…

Local Information Links to the National Metropolitan Hierarchy
The primary purpose of this paper is to determine the degree to which nonmetropolitan and small metropolitan areas participate in the US information economy. It has long been known that large metropolitan areas have become integrated among themselves into the national economy, but it has been assumed that small centers remain focused on local and regional links. This study uses 1996 data from Federal Express Corporation to measure flows of packag…

The Flow of Information in a Global Economy
Information circulation and availability have always been fundamental to the development of cities even when their employment base depended on manufacturing. With the rise of the informational city, and the global economy, the creation and exchange of highly specialized information has become vital for a metropolitan center's success. This paper, accordingly, examines the contemporary production and exchange of higher-order information that occur…

Corporate Headquarters Relocation and Changes in Metropolitan Corporate Dominance, 1980-1987
During the last 30 years, U.S. metropolitan economies have experienced tremendous restructuring, and the locations of corporate headquarters have increasingly exhibited spatial shifts, both deconcentrating and dispersing. Theoretical explanations have suggested that the United States is entering the third of four stages, in which we are now witnessing the drive to regional maturity with no dominant regional center. Changes in the distribution of …
Information Flows among Major Metropolitan Areas in the United States
This study uses Federal Express Corporation data to examine information flows among 48 large metropolitan areas in the United States. Set within the context of emerging quaternary location theory, three hypotheses are introduced to explain the bases for information flows among metropolitan areas: information genesis, hierarchy of control, and spatial independence. Essential support is found for all three hypotheses. Supply considerations, rather …
Corporate Role of New York City in the Metropolitan Hierarchy
This article examines two related components of the preeminence of New York City as a concentration of corporate headquarters: the spatial own- ership links between major corporations with headquarters in the city and their subsidiaries, and the links between subsidiaries located in the city and the sites of their parent firms. New York City-based parent companies locate their sub- sidiaries primarily in the largest metropolitan centers, irrespec…

Characteristics and Recent Trends in Urban Geography
This paper summarizes some major characteristics and trends in the field of urban geography during the 1980s based on its eponymous journal, offers a brief overview of earlier developments in urban geography, and attempts a comparison between earlier and more recent trends and ideas in the field. During the 1980s, structuralistic and humanistic approaches have gained somewhat over the dominant positivistic tradition. The United States and Canada …
Corporate Spatial Links With Financial Institutions
This study focuses on the spatial linkages between major U.S. corporations and financial institutions. The results support the hypothesis that corporations reach up the metropolitan hierarchy for banking services, i.e., they are more strongly linked with higher-order centers than with lowerorder metropolitan areas. A second hypothesis, also confirmed, is that larger corporations are more strongly tied to the upper end of the metropolitan hierarch…
Spatial Dimensions of Urban Social Travel
Two basic hypotheses are tested in this paper. First, the frequency of social trips will decline with increasing travel distance between the interacting participants. Secondly, an individual of a given socioeconomic status will be more likely to choose as a social contact someone of similar status, his frequency declining with progressively dissimilar status levels. Although the findings at the census tract level were less clear-cut than expected…
The Changing Residential Structure of the Dutch Population in Kalamazoo, Michigan
The concept of acculturation, developed largely by anthropologists and sociologists, has not been sufficiently incorporated into geographical research on minority groups. One area in which the concept may be advantageously used is in the study of the origin and spatial evolution of ethnic neighborhoods in American cities. In pointing a way, this study analyses the changing residential patterns of the Dutch in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and relates thes…

The Wealth of the Nation
The overall purpose of this study is to describe the spatial patterns of U.S. metropolitan commercial banking from 1970 to 1980. Specifically, the objectives are to relate the level of banking deposits among major metropolitan areas with (1) corporate importance, (2) population size, and (3) local government revenues. The Stanback hypothesis and the urban systems development concept provide the research framework. The concentration of major comme…
Trip Purposes and Urban Activity Linkages
Trips involving more than one stop before returning home comprise a quarter to a third of all urban travel. A high degree of similarity exists in the pattern of flow for various trip purposes because of a common dependence on the spatial arrangement of activities. Linkages among activity on a single trip, stemming from a savings in transport inputs, are also related to the areal pattern of activities and most frequently involve clustered business…

Occupational Status and Work-Trips
The nature of the relationship between distance traveled to work and socioeconomic status of the worker is briefly reviewed. Empirical data for Pittsburgh suggest a positive status/distance correspondence for white males. It is hypothesized that each occupation group will tend to minimize its work-trip distance within the structure of its particular areal distribution of home and work. Minimum home-work separation, determined for each occupation …

Effects of Geographical Scale on Location Decisions in Manufacturing
Manufacturing plants have different locational requirements and characteristics based on whether their locational decision primarily involved a spatial search at the national, regional, or local level. The analysis is derived from questionnaire data for the fifteen-county Atlanta, Georgia, metropolitan area. Nationally oriented plants are larger, more recently established, and more likely to be branch plants, and are more strongly represented in …
Notes on the Geography of Religious Town Names in the U. S
DECISION-PROCESS involved in rendering a name to a phenomenon, whether it be a physical feature like a plant, lake, or mountain, or whether man-made constructs like surnames, buildings, or towns, has fascinated students in many disciplines.This process is of particular interest when the names given have religious, mystical, or philosophical connotations.Although the reason why a town was named Damascus, Sodom, Hope, Faith, or St.Joseph may be uni…

Residential Location By Occupational Status
Based on existing theory and limited empirical findings, it is hypothesised that groups of similar occupational status will have similar residential patterns; and, as the status level widens, location of residence will become increasingly dissimilar. To measure residential status differentiation, locational indices and correlation techniques are employed. Using Pittsburgh data, the study finds little relationship between the relative concentratio…

Locational Dimensions of Urban Highway Impact
It is widely recognized that the impact of a new highway affects people both positively and negatively. This research examines the attitudes of residents in neighborhoods in an area in which an urban freeway is proposed. Specifically measurements are made on attitudes toward environmental and accessibility impact at varying distances from the proposed freeway. Data are derived from a questionnaire survey of approximately 150 households in each of…
