Interregional Migration Historically- enticement of abundant available land Famous Example- Opening of American Western Frontier 1 st obstacle – dependence on coastal shipments, mountains blocking passageways, and “Indian” settlements Transportation developments – canals for boat travel; Erie Canal Passing over Great Plains- Gold Rush; land unfit for farming Railroads - allowed easier transportation of goods to sell to customers on the East Coast Southern migration- jobs and warmer climate © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

Migration between Regions in Large Countries World’s five largest countries in land area are Russia, Canada, China, the U.S., and Brazil. – Russia : Western European portion to Far North (Siberia) to operate steel mills and mines for higher pay and benefits; it was too cold and most migrated back – Canada – East to West; More advanced cities; Alberta and British Columbia – Brazil – Atlantic Coast to Tropical Interior; Capital (Brasi’lia) moved to center of country; many moved for job; population grew rapidly and many cannot afford housing now – China - rural to urban eastern coast; factory jobs and economic advancement Much of Russia’s interregional migration – western part of country near Europe © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.

Migration between Regions in Large Countries Intraregional Migration: – Urbanization : Industrial Revolution- diffused to LDCs, Economic Opportunity, Increasing annually – Suburbanization: MDCs mostly, lifestyle change, twice as many Americans move to the suburbs now than they move from rural to urban areas – Counter-urbanization: Urban to rural areas, technology allows people to live outside of cities and still communicate, peace and quiet, safer for families, different jobs – like working from home or farming, escape a hectic lifestyle, Colorado, Idaho, Utah… – MDC vs LDC migration patterns- LDCs are rural to urban and MDCs urban to suburban – LDCs are behind in the transition – Suburbs vs urban – backyard, private parking and land rather than apartments, recreational facilities, developments in transportation such as cars and highways allow people to live outside the city, safer and better schools Counter-urbanization with transportation and communication- easier transportation of goods, online shopping and communication, phones, work from home, land=money © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.
