Urban Land Use Models

The video explores the evolution of urban models, starting with Ernest Burgess's concentric zone model, which describes urban growth in rings from a central business district. It then covers Homer Hoyt's sector model, which considers physical features and communication lines. The video contrasts these models with urban structures in less economically developed countries, where shanty towns often form on marginal land. The importance of studying urban structure for better planning and environmental harmony is emphasized.

What are shanty towns, and where are they typically located?

Why is studying urban structure important for the development of cities?
