Industrial Revolution except
1. Hierarchical diffusion - The British Empire spread industrial concepts
throughout many world cities and regions.
2. Contagious diffusion – manufacturing ideas and concepts spread
from England to nearby European countries.

modified ideas and concepts from England and created new ways of
manufacturing.
4. Reverse hierarchical – manufacturing ideas and concepts from the
outlying rural areas of the British Empire spread back to England
and stimulated the Industrial Revolution.
5. Diffused to areas with common locational factors including the
availability of coal, access to a water port, proximity to a labor supply
and available capital.

Rostow’s economic development model indicates that
before high level economic development can occur,
1. countries must have extensive resources and part of the

and do not negatively affect the environment.
3. primary sector employment must decrease and
agricultural output increase.
4. countries must receive foreign aid or investment in large
quantities in order to achieve large-scale technology
transfer.
5. countries must pass through predictable and sequential
stages
