Ibn Khaldun's Theory of Umran: How can Muslim Countries benefit from his thought in development

Geographical Theory of Growth:
Geographical environment in Ibn Khaldun theory of Umran constitutes fundamental issue because, based on him, the imposition of unexplained Geographical environment is the primary determinant of the state of Umran, the larger the geographical environment suitable for human life, the greater urbanization and vice versa. (IT SHOULD BE KNOWN that not all the temperate zones have an abundance of food, nor do all their inhabitants lead a comfortable life. In some parts, the inhabitants enjoy an abundance of grain, seasonings, wheat, and fruits, because the soil is well balanced and good for plants and there is an abundant civilization. And then, in other parts, the land is strewn with rocks, and no seeds or herbs grow at all. There, the inhabitants have a very hard time (Ibn Khaldun, 1969, p. 129).
