Primate City

Define a primate city. A primate city is a city that is disproportionately larger than the second-largest city. Describe how primate city is related to Thailand’s urban geography. Bangkok is the capital of Thailand and it happens to be the actual largest primate city ever to be a primate city. Explain TWO positive eects of primate cities on a country’s economic development. I say a positive of primate cities on a country’s economic development is the people from all over the place that they attract. Tourists will come and go and even spend their money traveling to primate cities and money is good for the economy of that country as a whole. Another positive thing about primate cities is for a country’s economy is that these cities oer jobs and when people are working they make money that they will probably eventually spend on things in that city, so its a win win. Explain ONE negative eect of primate cities on a country's economic development. I think that a negative eect of a primate city on a country’s economic development is that there will be an uneven distribution of money across the nation. Explain ONE negative eect of primate cities on a country’s resources. One negative eect of primate cities on a country’s resources would probably be that they would provide the primate city with the most resources because it benefits economically the most when it is given these resources. Compare the terms primate city and rank-size rule. A primate city is a city that is disproportionately larger than its second-largest city. Say if the largest city in a country has a population of 10 million people and the second-largest city in that country has 5 million people. The rank-size rule is as it says rank. Basically, the nth largest city is 1/n larger than the rank after it. So for instance the 5th largest city is ⅕ larger than the 6th largest city. The rank-size rule is proportional compared to a primate city.
