Commodity Boomtowns

Commodity Boomtowns is a socio-spatial phenomenon characterized by rapidly expanding settlements that emerge and develop primarily due to the intensive extraction and export of natural resources, distinguished from other urban forms by their economic dependence on a single commodity, volatile growth patterns tied to global resource markets, and often transient or unstable demographic and infrastructural development.
