Friedman' core periphery model in regional imbalance UPSC

As per Friedman some regions developed rapidly because of some favorable reasons and became the core of development, periphery of these core are the area of the undeveloped region.
As per Friedman, there are four stages in regional development:

• Pre-industrial society
• Development of Core and Periphery
• Dispersion of economic activities in the Periphery region.
• The emergence of spatial Integration

Pre-industrial society: 

The following are the main characteristics of this stage.

• No, any industries, 
• Agricultural society
• Landlord influences
• Equal development in all regions and no regional imbalance 
• No core and periphery development 

Pre-industrial society stage 1

The development of core and periphery

In the second stage of Friedman, the development of the Core & periphery started. 

• The core area:
• have economical progress, technological advancement, innovation, industries, good service and communication facilities. 
• In the periphery area: 
• The source of, raw materials, labor, etc. 

Development of core and periphery (stage 2)

Dispersion of economic activities to the periphery:

 During this stage, the core region is not able to fulfill all the demand and hence spread of development activities happens around the core. 

The emergence of spatial integration

During this stage, the interdependence of core and sub-core area. Periphery is nearly eliminated. Equal development of all-region can be seen.
