Internal structure of towns and cities

• Town

• Central Business District

• Hamlet

• Surburb

Give a reason why most developed countries, as a general rule, residential densities decrease with distance from the CBD.

• Large numbers of workers were densely packed into inner city areas to be close to manufacturing jobs.

• Availability of land with increased distance from the CBD is limited.

• Improvements in transport and technology does not allow people to live further away from their place of work in lower-density areas

• Wealthier households may not be able to afford to live in more attractive areas, such as close to rivers, high ground and open spaces/parks.

The following factors cause developed countries to have a number of industrial zones in most cities except:

• Traditional inner- city areas close to railways and/or canals.

• Industries needing access to skilled labour

• For those that require an urban market for distribution

• Some communities may have to locate in areas where building may be difficult .

Port cities have excellent access to the following

• local markets and goods.

• overseas markets and goods.

• domestic markets and goods.

• none of the above

Why does the amount of open space increases towards the edge of town.

Choose suitable answers.

• The value of land is lower towards the edge

• There is also more available land.

• Reserved for poor people

• The government neglects it.

A common characteristic of all three models of urbanisation

• CBD is always in the middle

• none of them include a suburb

• immigrants live in single-family dwellings

• working class homes located farthest from the CBD

Name the model: Due to land value, retail and commerce dominate the central areas, industry dominates beyond the CBD before residential housing takes over on the outskirts.

• The Sector Model

• Concentric Zone Model

• Bid-rent

• British Urban land Use Model
