Study Notes
Makeshift Housing
- Makeshift housing often arises in peripheral countries due to industrial job growth in cities that lack sufficient housing options.
Squatter Settlements
- Rapid urban migration in Latin America leads to squatter settlements, largely influenced by the absence of enforceable zoning regulations.
Low-Income Migrant Residence
- Low-income migrants are most likely to settle in outlying areas of urban zones, rather than central business districts or industrial zones.
Public Services and Development
- Public service availability correlates with a country's level of development, with cities in semi-periphery countries better equipped to provide services than those in peripheral countries.
Burgess Concentric Zone Model
- The model reflects urban development in Midwestern cities like Chicago during the Industrial Era, characterized by suburban growth rings around a single central business district.
Weak Fit for Burgess Model
- The weakest example for the Burgess concentric zone model includes urban regions with multiple employment centers and varied high-income residential areas, such as the San Francisco Bay area.
