9 INTRODUCTION TO THE UNIT Dear learner, this material was prepared with you in mind and, therefore, you will find it easy to read, comprehend and enjoy. In the present course unit, you are introduced to the basic concepts of economic geography such as location, agglomeration, development, underdevelopment and economic rent among others. The different ways of measuring levels of development of different countries are examined. Classical and neo-classical theories of growth and development are also critically discussed. The contribution of agriculture, industrialization, urbanization and gender to development is also evaluated. The geography of money as well as regional development and planning are also discussed. The material contains useful illustrations for your easy and quick comprehension, suggested practical activities, which you are expected to carry out (in text questions), and assignments for you to attempt at the end of each lecture. You are expected to write out your answers and mail them for marking according to the instructions that will be provided to you. Welcome to this exciting and interesting Economic Geography course. Unit Objectives At the end of this study unit, you should be able to: Explain the concepts of location, development, underdevelopment and economic rent. Discuss the various ways of measuring levels of development of the countries of the world. Explain causes of underdevelopment in Less Developed countries. Critically evaluate the role of agriculture in the development process. This unit, referred to as Economic Geography, is taught at the undergraduate level to the Bachelor of Education Science students. It is designed to train students to appreciate the complex nature of the development process. 9
