assistant, the rural artisan provided the neighborhood with common goods from
furniture to shoes to farm equipment in exchange for cash or for ―goods in kind‖ from the customer’s field, pasture, or dairy. Sometimes

Question for 14 - 15
Cities develop as a result of functions that they can
perform. Some functions result
directly from the ingenuity of the citizenry, but most
functions result from the needs of
the local area and of the surrounding hinterland (the region
that supplies goods to the
city and to which the city furnishes services and other
goods). Geographers often make
a distinction between the situation and the site of a city.
Situation refers to the general position in relation
to the surrounding region, whereas site involves physical
characteristics of the specific location. Situation is normally much more
important to the continuing prosperity of a city. if a city is well situated in
regard to its hinterland, its development is much more likely to continue.
Chicago, for example, possesses an almost
unparalleled situation: it is located at the southern end of
a huge lake that forces east-west transportation
lines to be compressed into its vicinity, and at a meeting
of significant land and water transport routes. It also overlooks what is one
of the world’s finest large farming regions. These factors ensured that Chicago
would become a great city regardless of the disadvantageous
characteristics of the available site, such as being prone to flooding during
thunderstorm activity
