Study Notes
Urban Land Use Models
- Urban areas become increasingly complex as they grow over time, with different land use patterns.
- Models attempt to describe and identify these patterns of land use.
- The Burgess (concentric ring) model and the Hoyt (sector) model are two prominent models.
Burgess Concentric Zone Model
- Created by Ernest Burgess in 1925, based on the land use patterns of Chicago.
- Depicts urban land use in concentric rings, with the Central Business District (CBD) at the center.
- Zone 1: The commercial heart of the city, including the CBD.
- Zone 2: The transition zone, or Inner City, subject to invasion.
- Zone 3: Working people’s homes, or Inner Suburbs, a place of upward mobility.
- Zone 4: Better quality middle-class homes, or Outer Suburbs, with increased wealth.
- Zone 5: Commuters zone, located furthest from the CBD.
- Correlation between distance from the CBD and socio-economic status, with richer families living further away.
- Competition for favorable locations in the city leads to outward growth, invasion, and succession.
- As the city grows, the CBD expands outwards, forcing other rings to expand outwards as well.
Hoyt’s Sector Model
- Proposed in 1939 by Homer Hoyt, as a modification of the concentric zone model.
- Uses Chicago as its foundation, with observations of:
- An upper class residential sector growing outward from the CBD and towards the north, along the Lake Michigan shoreline.
- Industry extending southward in sectors following railway lines.
- Low-income households near railway lines.
- Commercial establishments along business thoroughfares.
- Access to Zone 1 (CBD) influences land values, with manufacturing functions developing in a wedge surrounding transportation routes.
- Hoyt suggested that socio-economic groups expand outward from the city center along transportation routes (railway lines, highways).
- These routes provided improved access to Zone 1, creating sectors rather than concentric rings.
- Sectors are wedge-shaped patterns emanating from the CBD and centered on major transportation routes.
- Residential functions grow in wedge-shaped patterns, with low-income housing bordering manufacturing/industrial sectors, while higher-income sectors locate further away.
Limitations of the Burgess and Hoyt Models
- Both models are based on a single North American city (Chicago).
- They do not account for private cars and mass car ownership, which enables commuting from cheaper land outside city boundaries.
- Chicago's flat and uniform landscape may not apply to other cities with varied physical features.
- No reference to out-of-town development is included in these models.
Note: The terminology used in these models (e.g., immigrant settlement, low-class, and ghetto) was common and accepted at the time but can be problematic and/or have different meanings today.
