Central Place Theory Reloaded and Revised: Political Economy and Landscape Dynamics in the Longue Durée
land Editorial Central Place Theory Reloaded and Revised: Political Economy and Landscape Dynamics in the Longue Durée Athanasios K. Vionis * and Giorgos Papantoniou * Department of History and Archaeology, University of Cyprus, P.O. Box 20537, 1678 Nicosia, Cyprus * Correspondence: [email protected] (A.K.V.); [email protected] (G.P.) Received: 12 February 2019; Accepted: 18 February 2019; Published: 21 February 2019 1. Introduction The aim of this contribution is to introduce the topic of this volume and briefly measure the evolution and applicability of central place theory in previous and contemporary archaeological practice and thought. Thus, one needs to rethink and reevaluate central place theory in light of contemporary developments in landscape archaeology, by bringing together ‘central places’ and ‘un-central landscapes’ and by grasping diachronically upon the complex relation between town and country, as shaped by political economies and the availability of natural resources. It is true that 85 years after the publication of Walter Christaller’s seminal monograph Die zentralen Orte in Süddeutschland [1], the significance of his theory has been appreciated, modified, elaborated, recycled, criticised, rejected and revised several times. As Peter Taylor and his collaborators [2] (p. 2803) have noted, “nobody has a good word to say about the theory”, while “the influence of a theory is not to be measured purely in terms of its overt applications”. Originally set forth by a German geographer, central place theory, once described as geography’s “finest intellectual product” [3] (p. 129), sought to identify and explicate the number, size, distribution and functional composition of retailing and service centres or ‘central places’ in a microeconomic world [4] (p. -

Introduction Context Rossendale is a small District of moorland and hills incised by valleys which contain most of the settlements. The character of the area is very much defined by the topography from the local stone historically used in the buildings, to the routes used by the transport corridors. There is no dominant main settlement with instead three main towns; Rawtenstall, Bacup and Haslingden supplemented by Whitworth. The population -

Background 1.1 Wycombe District Council is currently progressing work on preparing a new planning framework, including a new Local Plan for the District. This work comprises a range of studies to explore options for accommodating new development requirements. 1.2 As part of the Council’s technical work which has already taken place, particularly as part of the Local Plan Options Consultation in 2014, it has already become clear that the requirements for new development are likely to be considerably higher than previous targets. Consequently the Council is likely to be faced with significantly greater challenges in terms of finding options to meet these needs. 1.3 To put this into context, the Council’s Adopted Core Strategy was based on a housing target of 402.5 new homes per annum, a quantum which was capable of being delivered predominantly through brownfield development and the limited pool of greenfield reserve sites in the south of the District. The early indication of significantly higher growth levels in the District means, however, that for the first time in many years, there is the prospect of a significant level of greenfield development being required to be explored in the Local Plan, to help meet the District’s development requirements. -
Rt Hon Oliver Dowden CBE MP
Rt Hon Oliver Dowden CBE MP Member of Parliament for Hertsmere End of Parliament Report – November 2019 As this Parliament reaches its conclusion, I wanted to write to you to update you on my work over the previous four years as your Member of Parliament. As always, a report of this length cannot cover everything so to see more of what I have been working on please do visit my Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or website where I regularly share posts and updates. Transport After my four year long campaign, Oyster was delivered to Potters Bar and Radlett in August. This enables people to travel easily and more flexibly, and I formally opened the system with the Transport Secretary at Radlett Station. I’ve also made progress securing upgrades to transport facilities across the constituency. After pressing Thameslink, Elstree and Borehamwood Station has been completely overhauled, including a much-needed wider entrance and re-furbished concourse. Moreover, a £300m Government investment into Thameslink’s infrastructure has delivered improvements along the whole line. Potters Bar and Radlett will be receiving money from the £15m Passenger Benefit Fund and I successfully pushed Govia Thameslink to speed the roll-out of new, larger and more modern carriages to improve passenger journeys. At the same time I continue to meet regularly with representatives from London Northwestern about improvements to Bushey Station, including more toilets, shelters and bike racks. I know the service on Thameslink and Great Northern has at times been completely unacceptable. I commute and know first-hand the frustration and anger caused by the timetable chaos last year. -
News Release
NEWS RELEASE FOURTH STREET AT CONSTITUTION AVENUE NW WASHINGTON DC 20565 . 737-4215/842-6353 EXHBITION FACT SHEET Title; THE TREASURE HOUSES OF BRITAIN: FIVE HUNDRED YEARS OF PRIVATE PATRONAGE AND ART COLLECTING Patrons: Their Royal Highnesses The Prince and Princess of Wales Dates; November 3, 1985 through March 16, 1986, exactly one week later than previously announced. (This exhibition will not travel. Loans from houses open to view are expected to remain in place until the late summer of 1985 and to be returned before many of the houses open for their visitors in the spring of 1986.) Credits; This exhibition is made possible by a generous grant from the Ford Motor Company. The exhibition was organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, in collaboration v\n.th the British Council and is supported by indemnities from Her Majesty's Treasury and the U.S. Federal Council on the Arts and Humanities. Further British assistance was supplied by the National Trust and the Historic Houses Association. History of the exhibition; The suggestion that the National Gallery of Art consider holding a major exhibition devoted to British art was made by the British Council in 1979. J. Carter Brown, Director of the National Gallery, responded with the idea of an exhibition on the British Country House as a "vessel of civilization," bringing together works of art illustrating the extraordinary achievement of collecting and patronage throughout Britain over the past five hundred years. As this concept carried with it the additional, contemporary advantage of stimulating greater interest in and support of those houses open to public viewing, it was enthusiastically endorsed by the late Lord Howard of Henderskelfe, then-Chairman of the Historic Houses Association, Julian Andrews, Director of the Fine Arts Department of the British Council, and Lord Gibson, Chairman of the National Trust. -
