# Economic Development Sequence
## Definition
The historical pattern in which economic development occurs first in areas with the best market access through water-carriage, then spreads to regions with inland navigation, and finally reaches areas dependent solely on land-carriage. This sequence reflects the role of transportation costs in determining development patterns.
## Source Chapter
Book I, Chapter 3
## Context
Smith describes how improvements in art and industry begin where water-carriage opens the whole world as a market, are later in extending themselves to inland parts of the country, and only reach areas dependent on land-carriage much later, establishing a clear sequence of economic development.
## Economic Domain
General Theory
