A theory that refers to how the price and demand for real estate relate to the distance from the central business district (CBD) increases.
Bid rent theory (W. Alonso)
Borchert's epochs (Borchert's model of urban evolution)
Central place theory (W. Christaller)
Threshold
Five distinct periods in the history of American urbanization. Each epoch is characterized by the impact of a particular transport technology on the creation and differential rates of growth of American cities.
Concentric Zone Model (Burgess model or the CCD model)(Burgess)
Central Business center
Borchert's epochs (Borchert's model of urban evolution)
Zone in Transition
Is a geographical theory that seeks to explain the number, size, and location of human settlements in a residential system.
Disamenity sector
Central place theory (W. Christaller)
Latin Am city structure
Sector Model or Hoyt model (Hoyt)
What type of model is a "Threshold"?
is the maximum distance consumers are prepared to travel to acquire goods. (at some point the cost or inconvenience will outweigh the need for the good.)
minimum # of people required to support a business
Services that are obtained on a regular basis and require a small area to be profitable.
Service that is required less frequently and requires a large market area to remain profitable.
What is the "Range"?
one of the earliest theoretical models to explain urban social structures. Created by sociologist Ernest Burgess in 1925.
The form and structure of cities, including street patterns and the size and shape of buildings.
Services that are obtained on a regular basis and require a small area to be profitable.
is the maximum distance consumers are prepared to travel to acquire goods. (at some point the cost or inconvenience will outweigh the need for the good.)
Services that are obtained on a regular basis and require a small area to be profitable.
Low Order Goods
Zone in Transition
Blue Collar Zone
Higher order goods
one of the earliest theoretical models to explain urban social structures. Created by sociologist Ernest Burgess in 1925.
Central place theory
Concentric Zone Model (Burgess model or the CCD model)
Blue Collar Zone
Concentric Zone Model (Burgess model or the CCD model)(Burgess)
Service that is required less frequently and requires a large market area to remain profitable.
Low Order Goods
Higher order goods
Zone in Transition
one of the earliest theoretical models to explain urban social structures. Created by sociologist Ernest Burgess in 1925.
White Collar Zone
Central Business center
Concentric Zone Model (Burgess model or the CCD model)(Burgess)
The area of the city where retail and office activities are clustered.
Central Business center
White Collar Zone
Gravity Model
Multiple Nuclei Model (Harris/ Ullman)
An area that is either becoming more rural or more urban, area of mixed commercial and residential land uses surrounding the CBD; a mixture of growth, change and decline.
Galactic City Model/ Peripheral Model (Chauncy Harris)
Zone in Transition
Multiple Nuclei Model (Harris/ Ullman)
wage-earners, manual laborers.
White Collar Zone
Blue Collar Zone
Suburbs
can afford to live farther from the CBD
White Collar Zone
Blue Collar Zone
An outlying district of a city, especially a residential one.
Gravity Model
Suburbs
Galactic City Model/ Peripheral Model (Chauncy Harris
Latin Am city structure (Griffin & Ford)
The galactic city model, also known as the peripheral model, was created in the 1960s by Chauncy Harris who also co-authored the multiple nuclei model. ... It has a rapidly growing suburb and an increasing number of edge cities. A city that is based on this model is very decentralized, this is again due to urban sprawl.
Sub-Saharan African City
Latin Am city structure(Griffin & Ford)
Multiple Nuclei Model (Harris/ Ullman)
Galactic City Model/ Peripheral Model (Chauncy Harris)
Uses the size of location and distance factors for travel. The size takes precedence over time. It can be used to estimate traffic flows, migration between two areas, the number of people to use one central place.
Disamenity sector
Gravity Model
Sector Model or Hoyt model (Hoyt)
Sub-Saharan African City
The “nuclei” are multiple smaller growth centers that developed around the metropolitan area. Shows nodes or nuclei in other parts of the city other than the CBD.
Multiple Nuclei Model (Harris/ Ullman)
Disamenity sector
city model with a colonial section, market section, and indigenous section, surrounded by ethnic neighborhoods.
Disamenity sector
Multiple Nuclei Model (Harris/ Ullman)
Sub-Saharan African City
In 1980, geographers Ernest Griffin and Larry Ford developed a generalized model to describe the structure of cities in Latin America after concluding that the organization of many cities in that region grew following certain patterns.
Central Business center
Multiple Nuclei Model (Harris/ Ullman)
Latin Am city structure(Griffin & Ford)
A model of urban land use proposed in 1939 by land economist Homer Hoyt. It is a modification of the concentric zone model of city development. The benefits of the application of this model include the fact it allows for an outward progression of growth.
Gravity Model
Sector Model or Hoyt model (Hoyt
Multiple Nuclei Model (Harris/Ullman)
can afford to live farther from the CBD
White Collar Zone
Blue Collar Zone
The very poorest parts of cities that in extreme cases are not connected to regular city services and are controlled by gangs and drug lords.
Gravity Model
Galactic City Model/ Peripheral Model (Chauncy Harris)
Disamenity Sector
a relatively large urban area situated on the outskirts of a city, typically beside a major road.
Mega city
Edge city
Emerging city
