What is the Concentric Zone Model?
A description of the process of urban growth that views the city as a series of CIRCULAR areas or zones, each characterized by a different type of land use that developed from a central core.
an urban land use model which talks about SPATIAL arrangement of activities in an urban area.
A city that LACKS a centralized business district or downtown area and that has several distinct neighborhoods that all act as regional centers within one larger city
a city with growth INDEPNDENT of the CBD that is traditionally connected to the central city by means of an arterial highway or interstate
Galactic City Model
a city with growth INDEPENDENT of the CBD that is traditionally connected to the central city by means of an arterial highway or interstate.
A city that LACKS a centralized business district or downtown area and that has several distinct neighborhoods that all act as regional centers within one larger city
an urban land use model which talks about SPATIAL arrangement of activities in an urban area.
A description of the process of urban growth that views the city as a series of CIRCULAR areas or zones, each characterized by a different type of land use that developed from a central core.
A ring of land maintained as parks, agriculture, or other types of open space to limit the sprawl of an urban area hint:green
(a)
Metropolitan Statistical Area
(MSA)
a central city of at least 50000 population, the country within which the city is located, and adjacent countries meeting one of several tests indicating a functional connection to the central city
An urbanized area of between 10,000 and 50,000 inhabitants, the country in which it is found, and adjacent counties tied to the city.

Peripheral Model
A model of North American urban areas, consisting of an inner city surrounded by large suburban residential and business areas tied together by a beltway or ring road.
Focuses on residential patterns explaining where the wealthy in a city choose to live.
based on the notion that as one region or state expands in economic prosperity, it must engulf regions nearby to ensure ongoing economic and political success.

Sector Model
Focuses on residential patterns explaining where the wealthy in a city choose to live. Hoyt argued that the city grows outward from the center, so a low-rent area could extend all the way from the CBD to the city's outer edge, creating zones which are shaped like pieces of a pie.
consisting of an inner city surrounded by large suburban residential and business areas tied together by a beltway or ring road.
, it's a model that suggests that the CBD is losing its dominant position. A model of the internal structure of cities in which social groups are arranged around a collection of nodes of activities.
spatial generalization of the large, late 20th century city in the U.S. It is shown to be a widely dispersed, multi-centered metropolis consisting of increasingly independent zones or realms, each focused on its own suburban downtown.

Absolute Location
describing how far a distance is quantitative units of distance (miles, kilometers, etc.)
describing the distance between locations using qualitative terms or non-traditional measurements of distance (one hour north of Walmart)
describing where something is using the exact site on an objective coordinate system (Long. & Lat.)
describing the position of a place as compared to (or relative to!) another landmark (near the beach)
Relative Location
describing the distance between locations using qualitative terms or non-traditional measurements of distance (one hour north of Walmart)
describing how far a distance is quantitative units of distance (miles, kilometers, etc.)
describing where something is using the exact site on an objective coordinate system (Long. & Lat.)
describing the position of a place as compared to (or relative to!) another landmark (near the beach)
Thematic Map
maps that emphasizes the location of places (without data attached)
a map that displays not only locations but maps a topic or theme of information with the location
The arrangement of the natural and artificial physical features of an area.
the belief that a physical environment is THE reason that some societies are strong while others are weaker
Environmental Determinism
the flow of goods, people, or information among places, in response to localized supply and demand
a region based around a node or focal point - terrestrial radio broadcasts are an example of this
useful for gathering SOME types of information. It can show you things like physical features, locations of urban areas, refugee camps, traffic, military targets, agriculture, etc.
the belief that a physical environment is THE reason that some societies are strong while others are weaker
Natural Resources
a metaphor that explains that effort must be used to overcome distance
a physical material constituting part of Earth that people need and value
the idea that the world feels smaller than it used to because of increased technology in transportation and communication
the idea that the interaction between two places declines as the distance between them increases

Identify the map above and identify which of the following descriptions most accurately describes the map.
Mercator: The shape and size of land masses are distorted, but direction is accurate
Robinson: Distortion is only happening with the size of the land masses, shape and direction are accurate
Mercator: Land mass size is accurate due to distortion being spread across all aspects of the map
Goode Homolosine: Does not use cardinal directions, minimizes distortion but is confusing to read
Robinson: Distortion is evenly spread out across shape, size, and direction making it less noticeable
