Development: Chapter 9
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
Fig. 9-8: The less developed regions include Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, Middle East, South Asia, East Asia, and Southeast Asia.
