Urban models

Who created the Burgess Concentric Zone model?

• E.W. Burgess

• F.W. Skinner

• Wegner

• R.B. Concentric

First model to explain the distribution of different social groups within urban areas:

• Concentric zone model

• Sector model

• Multiple nuclei model

• Sub-Saharan Africa model

Which model suggest that a city grows outward from a central area in a series of concentric rings?

• Sub-Saharan Africa model

• Multiple Nuclei Model

• Concentric Zone Model

• Sector model

Who created the Hoyt Sector Model?

• B.F. Skinner

• Homer Hoyt

• E.W. Burgess

• None of the above

Which model posits that a city develops in a series of sectors or corridors that extend out from the center (CBD)

• Urban Realms Model

• Multiple Nuclei Model

• Concentric Model

• Sector Model

Which of the following is true of the sector model?

• Grows outward from the center, so low-rent area could extend from the CBD to the outer edge of the city

• CBD is in the middle

• Develops in sectors/corridors

• Develops in concentric rings

The Nuclei Model:

• Predicts that land prices and population density decline as distance from CBD decrases

• Posist that a city is a complex structure that includes more than one center around which activities and people cluster

• Posits that a city develops in sectors/ corridors

• Says that a city develops in concentric rings

Which of the following is true of the multiple nuclei model?

• CBD is losing its dominant position as main nucleus of urban area

• Separate nuclei become specialized and differentiated

• The city has a collection of nodes around which different types of people and activities cluster

• Develops in sectors/ corridors around the CBD

In the model of a Latin American City:

• The city develops in sectors/corridors around the CBD

• The city has more than one main point where activities and people are clustered

• The wealthy live in the inner city and a sector extending along a commercial spine

• The city develops in concentric rings

In the Sub-Saharah Africa city model:

• The city is divided into multiple nodes where activities and people are clustered

• The centeral area of the city is divided into 3 CBD with ethnic and mixed neighborhoods surrounding the CBD's

• The city develops in concentric rings

• The city develops in sectors or corridors around the CBD
