Concentric Zone (Burgess) Model
According the the concentric zone model, what happens to the density of buildings as one moves away from the central business district?
Can you think of one way in which NYC (or Brooklyn) fits the concentric zone model?
Sector (Hoyt) Model
Transportation routes (like railroads and waterways) are really important to the sector (Hoyt) model. Why do you think the model has low and middle class homes near transportation and industry?
Why do you think the wealthier homes stretch out from the central business district.
Multiple Nuclei Model
The multiple nuclei model suggests that cities have different hubs (or nodes) of economic activity spread out throughout a city. An airport is an example. What types of businesses are likely to be found near an airport?
A university would be another of these economic hubs. What types of businesses are you likely to find around a university?
