Question

A. Describe the following models of urban land use in North America:

The concentric zone model (the Burgess model)
The sector model (the Hoyt model)
The multiple-nuclei model
B. Using the maps shown here, make an argument for which of the urban structure models above best applies to the city shown. Give examples of additional data that would be helpful for making this determination.

C. Identify and describe two similarities of and two differences between the models of urban development found in North America and the Latin American model.

Answer 1

concentric- split into different circles with CBd in most inner circle one of the earliest models

sector is seen when suburbanization could be urbanization starts happening because there are the means of transportation between the different parts

multi nuclei has different sectors for different industries and is a more mapped out like each part has a diff function

B. I don't see a picture

c. there are sectors of lower income household in a certain place and CBd is around the center

la has a spine and is more complex while na is more simple with the outer levels being directly around it

Answer 2

a.) concentric- split into different circles with CBD in most inner circle one of the earliest models The sector is seen when suburbanization could be urbanization starts happening because there are the means of transportation between the different parts multi nuclei have different sectors for different industries and is more mapped out like each part has a diff function

b.) I think that the Hoyt urban structure model best applies to the city shown on the map (Chicago). The Hoyt urban structure model best represents the city of Chicago shown on the map because in the Central business district you are able to discern that there are not many people that live there but there are many different races that live there. You can also tell where the high and low class residential areas are and where the industry area is.

c.) There are lower-income households in a certain location, and CBD is located in the center. Latin America has a spine and is more complicated, but North America is simpler, with the outlying tiers around the core.
