Study Notes

Urban Theories

Ernest Burgess' Concentric Zone Theory proposes that cities develop in concentric circles, with different zones emerging outwardly from the central business district (CBD).

Zone Theories

Burgess' Concentric Zone Theory does not include a 'Ghettos' zone.

Sector Theory

Homer Hoyt's Sector Theory states that cities develop in sectors or wedges, with high-rent residential areas and business districts extending outward from the CBD in a pie-shaped pattern.

Multiple Nuclei Theory

Harris and Ullman's Multiple Nuclei Theory proposes that cities have multiple centers or nuclei, rather than a single central business district.

Marxist Perspective on Urbanism

Marxist urbanists view urbanization as a product of capitalist development, driven by the pursuit of profit and exploitation of the working class.
The fundamental conflict in the urban area, according to Marxists, is between the bourgeoisie (capitalists) and the proletariat (workers).

David Harvey's View

David Harvey views the urban process as a reflection of the contradictions and crises of capitalism, with cities being shaped by the struggle between capital accumulation and social justice.
