An advantage of the Harris and Ullman multiple nuclei model over the Burgess concentric zone model and the Hoyt sector model of internal city structure is that the multiple nuclei model

• allows for the central business district to be situated in an edge city

• is also applicable to rural areas beyond the urban periphery

• easily incorporates construction of a new airport on the urban periphery
