Measuring and Locating Development: KI#1 and #2

Think about the past 2 days:

• What does an MDC look like, compared to an LDC?

• What does feature is the best indicator of MDC vs. LDC?– Where can you draw the line?– What about trade surplus/deficit?

• Collect the HW

Conclusions

• Can you draw any conclusions about the location of MDCs or LDCs? (that way you don’t need to memorize EVERYTHING!)

What is this map attempting to show?

Fig. 9-22: This north polar projection of

the world shows that most of the MDCs are in a core area north of 30° N latitude. The LDCs are mostly on the periphery of this map.

*Is there a reason for this?

More and Less Developed Regions

• More developed regions– Anglo-America – Western Europe– Eastern Europe – Japan– South Pacific

• Less developed regions– Latin America – East Asia– Southeast Asia – Middle East– South Asia – Sub-Saharan

Africa

More and Less Developed Regions
