The production theory of land rent (PTLR) contributes to knowledge of the spatial distribution of production activities. The PTLR is a general theory of a multidimensional commercial landscape. The PTLR is a heuristic model that provides explanation and trajectory for the spatial pattern of commercial land use, land value, density, capital used, labor wages, and level of employment.
