Question

Which of the following statements about Burgess’s human settlement model is false?

a. The upper class resides in the suburbs, or the outermost ring.
b. The model focuses on the city itself and not the land surrounding it.
c. The landscape of the city is unchanging and flat.
d. The industrial area is located far away from the city center.

Answer 1

I'm thinking d, since the model itself has factories/industries located on the ring just outside of the central business district, which is usually located in a city's center. Don't quote me though, it's been years since I've taken human geography.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is : d. The industrial area is located far away from the city center.

Explanation: The Burgess and Hoyt model focuses on the idea that land has a higher value in the center of a town or a city, because competition is high in the central parts of a settlement. The Burgess model also states that transport networks such as railways and highways exert an influence on the urban growth of human settlements.
