What is the Concentric Zone Model?
Click to flip
It is an urban structure model that depicts a city as a series of rings expanding outward from a central business district.
Click to flip
Who developed the Concentric Zone Model?
Click to flip
The Concentric Zone Model was developed by sociologist Ernest Burgess in 1925.
Click to flip
What does the Zone of Transition in the Concentric Zone Model signify?
Click to flip
It is the area surrounding the CBD, often characterized by mixed-use development, lower property values, and a higher density of older housing.
Click to flip
What is the Sector Model?
Click to flip
The Sector Model is an urban structure model that arranges a city into sectors extending out from the center, based on transportation routes or other linear features.
Click to flip
Who proposed the Sector Model?
Click to flip
The Sector Model was proposed by Homer Hoyt in 1939.
Click to flip
How does the Sector Model differ from the Concentric Zone Model?
Click to flip
Unlike the Concentric Zone Model's rings, the Sector Model focuses on city growth along transport routes, leading to pie-shaped sectors.
Click to flip
What is the Multiple Nuclei Model?
Click to flip
The Multiple Nuclei Model suggests that cities have multiple centers (nuclei) for different activities instead of a single central area.
Click to flip
Who introduced the Multiple Nuclei Model?
Click to flip
The Multiple Nuclei Model was introduced by Chauncy Harris and Edward Ullman in 1945.
Click to flip
What are Edge Cities in urban geography?
Click to flip
Edge Cities are urban areas located on the outskirts of a city, typically characterized by concentrations of business, shopping, and entertainment outside traditional downtowns.
Click to flip
Why are multiple nuclei models important in modern cities?
Click to flip
They reflect the decentralized nature of modern urban development, accounting for separate centers of economic and social activity.
Click to flip
What role does transportation play in the Sector Model?
Click to flip
Transportation routes heavily influence urban growth patterns, with certain sectors developing along major roads or railways.
Click to flip
How do land values vary in the Concentric Zone Model?
Click to flip
Land values typically decrease as one moves outward from the central business district.
Click to flip
What is a limitation of the Concentric Zone Model?
Click to flip
It assumes a uniform land surface and doesn't account for physical or manmade barriers that impact urban growth.
Click to flip
Can the Concentric Zone Model apply to modern cities? Why or why not?
Click to flip
It has limited applicability due to the complexities of modern urban planning and technological advances affecting transport and business locations.
Click to flip
How has urban decentralization influenced modern urban structure models?
Click to flip
Decentralization has led to more dispersed urban layouts, making models like the Multiple Nuclei Model more relevant to many contemporary cities.
