Everything is where it is for a reason. This video investigates the basic concepts of 'friction of distance' and 'geographical inertia' to explain why things are where they are. We also look at historical, environmental and economic factors that affect the location of homes, business and industry, towns, power sources, bridges, tunnels, rocket launch-pads and canals. The effects of changing technology on location are also examined.
