Study Notes
Southeast Asian City Model
- Created by T.G. McGee in 1967.
- Demonstrates land-use patterns in medium-sized cities of Southeast Asia.
- Also known as the McGee Model.
- Example: Malaysia, which has followed the model for successful growth.
Concentric Zone Model
- Formulated by Ernest W. Burgess in 1925.
- Details a city's internal structure divided into concentric rings.
- Central Business District (CBD) is at the center, surrounded by manufacturing and working-class districts.
- Also referred to as the Burgess Model.
- Example: New York City exhibits this model's structure.
Sector Model
- Developed by Homer Hoyt in 1939.
- Proposes that urban areas develop in sectors rather than rings, with each sector representing different social groups.
- Also known as Hoyt's Model.
- Example: Chicago is organized into sectors, with major companies centralized and lower-income residents located in surrounding areas.
Peripheral Model
- Created by Chauncey Harris in the 1960s.
- Examines suburban neighborhoods that surround an inner city, connected by commercial nodes.
- Often referred to as the Galactic City Model (an updated version).
- Describes a dispersed metropolitan landscape similar to the multiple-nuclei model.
European City Model
- Creator and date remain unspecified.
- Exemplifies the growth pattern of European cities, influenced by medieval and pre-industrial structures.
- Typically features a historically significant CBD and diverse, densely populated suburbs.
Urban Realms Model
- Developed by James Vance in 1964.
- Illustrates a late 20th-century large U.S. city as a multicentered metropolis with independent realms.
- Includes a diminished central realm centered around the CBD.
- Example: Istanbul, which showcases different realms around a central CBD.
Latin-American City Model
- Formulated by Ernest Griffin and Larry Ford in 1980.
- Merges elements of Latin American culture with globalization, featuring radial sectors and concentric zones.
- Highlights a thriving CBD with a declining quality of housing away from the center, notably in disamenity sectors.
- Example: Panama City reflects this model, enhancing its role as a major trade hub.
Multiple-Nuclei Model
- Created by Chauncey Harris and Edward Ullman in 1945.
- Represents urban structure as a collection of nodes or activity centers, with no fixed sector pattern.
- Example: Mumbai, which has various social groups dispersed throughout without adhering strictly to sectors.
Central Place Theory
- Formulated by Walter Christaller in 1933.
- Explains the distribution of cities and their market areas based on size and spatial interactions.
- Applicability spans across various geographical contexts.
African City Model
- Conceived by Harm De Blij in 1962.
- Characterized by three CBDs: colonial, traditional, and market zones, with varying architectural styles.
- Surrounding areas typically consist of ethnic neighborhoods, industries, and poor squatter settlements.
- A general model accounting for the diversity and rapid growth of African cities, combining aspects of the sector and concentric zone models.
