Summary of Unit
• At the high school level, students should understand that over time,
as successive waves of diffusion wash over particular places, the
nature of culture in those places changes. Moreover, some have
argued that growing cultural diversity among places is being
replaced with a slow movement towards cultural similarity. The loss
of distinct languages and the spread of English are associated with a
growth in global communication and human migration. Students
should understand the potential for such trends to reduce cultural
diversity among places and recognize evidence such as the
assimilation of immigrants.
• In addition to culture, places are distinctive because of the
economic activities found there. Students need to understand the
processes that account for differences in industry in different parts
of the world. While the location of raw materials influences the
location of industrial enterprises, students should understand that
there are other influential factors like distance to market and
transport costs and services. Human capital is another major factor.
For instance, some areas may appeal to immigrants because of the
growth of certain industries.
Summary of Unit
• Distance also affects the location of industry. Originally, water
power sites attracted industry because power could not be
moved. When coal became common, power could be moved, but
coal was so heavy it was cheaper to use it on its site of production
so industry gravitated to coal fields. When the amount of coal
needed in manufacturing and the diversity of raw materials in a
finished product expanded, industry shifted to major
metropolitan centers where the market for products was greatest.
Other factors such as available labor, cost of electricity, type of
living conditions, and tax incentives all play their part in the
location of industry. Students need to understand how these
factors affect the character of a given place.
• Finally, places display particular arrangements of form or built
environment (the organization of buildings, streets, and open
spaces). Many American cities adopted the grid-iron street plan.
Some are divided into ethnic neighborhoods, while others show
distinct evidence of cultural assimilation to the area. Each of these
settlement forms contributes to place distinctiveness.

Enduring Understanding

• Places are unique associations of natural
environments and human cultural modifications.
• Concepts of site and situation can explain the
uniqueness of places. As site or situation change, so
also does the character of a place.
