From the Paper:

"Changes in economic activities such as manufacturing and agriculture are largely determined by three interconnected factors. These factors are geographic proximity to natural resources, changes in technology and demographics. For example, in Urban Consumption of Agricultural Land Nancy Hofmann states, Many towns that started as agricultural trading centers have become successful and growing commercial centers. Part of their original comparative advantage was their proximity to productive and fertile agricultural land. Now their continuing expansion is consuming this high-quality agricultural land (Hofmann 1). What this indicates is that urban centers developed primarily because of the natural resources within the area."
