What are exogenous factors?Show answer
Exogenous factors are the external relationships and flows that connect a place to the wider world and can transform it. They are best understood as flows of four things: people (migration, commuting, tourism), money (investment, remittances, government funding), ideas (cultural influences, planning fashions, technology) and resources (goods, raw materials, energy). A place is not an island; it sits in a web of connections at local, regional, national and global scales. These flows can reinforce a place's existing character or radically reshape it, as when foreign investment regenerates a declining district, or out-migration of the young hollows out a rural area.
