The Charmed Circle: Von Thünen and Agriculture around Nineteenth Century London

Abstract

Von Thünen's model of land-use is very popular in the teaching of agricultural geography in schools and universities despite its demonstrable shortcomings. Concentric rings of land-use were not evident even around early nineteenth century London and there are other reasons why the model is not an appropriate context for the explanation of the location of horticulture and milk production at this time. A re-evaluation of over-simplistic methods of teaching von Thünen's ideas is necessary.
