Q
Ullman and Harris city model (1945)
A
- Modern cities are more structured than Burgess and Hoyt.
- Cities do not grow from a single CBD center, but from many smaller centers (nucleus)
- Each of the smaller centers has the function of a growth point, but has a specific function - a financial centre, an administrative centre, a retail centre, an industrial centre)
- Over time, growth will be generated by each of the smaller centers, until each of the centers (nucleus) merges into one large urban center.
- When the city becomes too big and crowded parts of the functions are moved to smaller
centers (nuclei) - The model of Ullman and Harris assumes maximum communication accessibility to the city center, separation of various functions of the urban tissue from each other, diversification in land prices.
