Unit 7 - Cities and Urban Land Use Models Flashcards
what are the 4 models
Concentric Zone, Sector Model, Multiple Nuclei, Galactic Urban (Peripheral)
1 - CBD, 2- Zone of transition, 3- independent workers’ homes, 4- better residences 5- commuters zone
Concentric Zone
who made concentric zone model
Earnest Burgess
lower class live closest to CBD, upper class live further - can afford commute to work. - Invasion and succession
concentric model most important feature
1 - CBD, 2- Transportation and Industry, 3- low class res, , 4- mid class res 5- high class res
Sector Model
who made sector model
Homer Hoyt
Major transportation routes
considered, cities would tend to grow sectors, emanating
from the CBD and centered on major transportation routes
sector model Most important features
1 - CBD, 2- Wholesale, light manu. 3- low class res, , 4- mid class res 5- high class res, 6- heavy manu. 7- outlying BD, 8- res suburb, 9- industrial suburb
Multiple nuclei model
who made multiple nuclei model
Chauncey Harris and Edward
Ullman
more than one center/node
multiple nuclei model
port, neighborhood business center, university, airport, park
types of nodes
Cities of greater size
were developing substantial suburb areas,
some suburbs having reached significant size, functioned like smaller business districts. - satellites of the main CBD,
contained specific activities - EDGE CITIES
Multiple nuclei Most important feature
- Edge Cities * Multiplier Effect
- Ex. LA, Houston
multiple nuclei
1 - CBD, 2- suburb res, 3- shopping mall 4- industrial district 5- office park, 6- service center, 7-airport 8- combined employment & shopping center
galactic/peripheral model
who made galactic/peripheral model
Chauncey Harris
