This book is concerned with the spatial aspects of the distributive trades. It provides a comprehensive insight into the relationship between consumer demand and retail supply in the context of both recent business trends and increasing planning controls. It unites a wide variety of theories and techniques to the practical problems confronting businessmen and planners and draws together the findings of a vast research literature on the geography of retailing. Extensive comparisons are drawn between conditions in North America and Western Europe.

Agglomeration--the clustering of people, businesses, or structures within an area--is investigated for two purposes: (1) defining the nature of agglomeration and erecting a suitable agglomeration theory, and (2) suggesting further research. These two objectives are seen as being vital to help improve the economic well-being of rural people by developing appropriate actions based on new knowledge. In addition to surveying the literature, which has been written exclusively from the urban point of view, the report also analyzes agglomeration to determine gaps to be filled by further study in terms of a rural point of view. The report concludes with a listing of 3 broad and 7 specific areas of research which should be undertaken. A 78-item bibliography concludes the document. (Db).
Study relates chiefly to the Bihar plain.
