VOCAB:
functional zonation: division of a city into different regions or zones for certain purposes or functions
zone: area with a designated purpose
central city: urban area that is not suburban (older city vs. newer suburbs)
suburb: outlying, functionally uniform part of an urban area often adjacent to the center city
suburbanization: process where lands outside of the city become
urbanized
galactic city: complex urban area, centrality of functions not significant (often central city is festival or recreational purposes), examples: LA & Toronto
concentric zone model: A model of the internal structure of cities in which social groups are spatially arranged in a series of rings, from Ernest Burgess Chicago study
sector model: the theory of urban structure that a city develops in a series of certain sectors,
instead of rings., attempts to answer limitations of Burgess model, by Homer Hoyt
multiple nuclei model: model of cities in which social groups are arranged around a collection of nodes of activities, By Chanucy Harris & Edward Ullman
megacities: city where high population growth *migration has caused them to explode in population
Griffin Ford Model: Combines Latin American Culture & globalization by combining radial sectors &concentric
zones. Includes a thriving CBD with a commercial spine. The quality of houses decreases as one moves outward away from the CBD, & the areas of worse housing occurs in the Disamenity sectors.
shantytowns: Unplanned slum developments on the margins of cities, crude dwellings/shelters made mostly of scrap wood, iron, and even pieces of cardboard.
disamenity sector: poorest parts of cities; can be unconnected to regular city services, controlled by gangs/drug
lords.
McGee model: T.G. McGhee, a model showing similar land-use patterns among medium sized cities of SE Asia, focal point is the old colonial port zone, no any CBD in Asia, but elements of the CBD as separate clusters surrounding the port zone..

edge city: cities made to pull CBD functions outside of the major city
barrio/favelas: unchanging slums in disamentity sector
periferico: beyond the highway ring
metropolitan area: cities &
surroundings
European Cities
*center cities typically have dense conglomeration of residential, retail, civic, and religious structures
*often little to no planning since they grow over time
*narrow and winding streets
*some well off neighborhoods
*outside of the cores is a preindustrial periphery, once poor and heavily affected by transportation
* next areas are industrial and post industrial suburbs
*many ethnic neighborhoods from
former colonies or occasionally post WWII cultivated relationships
Luxembourg's Winding Streets | Map of Madrid, Spain | Athens, Greece |
Jamaica in London | Algerians in France | Turks in Germany |
Galactic Cities (not Star Wars..)
Centrality does not matter. Ethnic and varied neighborhoods are all connected to one another and important people via transportation. Old downtown is festival or recreational site

What model represents an old colonial port zone?
McGee model: T.G. McGhee, a model showing similar land-use patterns among medium sized cities of SE Asia, focal point is the old colonial port zone, no any CBD in Asia, but elements of the CBD as separate clusters surrounding the port zone..
What is the galactic model?
The galactic city model is also known as the peripheral model. The model is based on the city of Detroit, Michigan and is made up of an inner city, with large suburban residential and business areas surrounding it. These areas are tied together by transportation nodes, like beltways, to avoid traffic congestion.
Which of the following best explains what the concentric zone model and bid rent curve illustrates about patterns of urban areas?
Which of the following best explains what the concentric zone model and bid-rent curve illustrate about patterns of urban areas? Together they show how land prices rise exponentially closer to the central business district.
What are the different urban land use models?
The most famous of these models are: Burgess's 'Concentric Zone Model' (1925) Hoyt's 'Sector Model' (1939) Harris and Ullman's 'Multiple Nuclei Model' (1945)
