Concentric Ring Model. - --Model created by E.W. Burgess that offered a concentric ring model to
describe urban geomorphology. Extension of trolley lines had a lot to do with this model.
Centre of concentric ring model. - --Central business district or CBD. Highest land value.
1st ring of E.W. Burgess concentric ring model. - --The transition zone with many industrial areas, and
the poorest residential areas. The inner city
2nd ring of E.W. Burgess concentric ring model. - --The workingman's quarters. More stable than the
transition zone. Ethnic neighborhoods ie Spanish Harlem. Of people who broke away from the first
ring. Slightly better housing. Close to work in CBD and ring 1.
3rd ring of E.W. Burgess concentric ring model. - --The middle class of commuters who moved who out
of ring 1 and 2 when streetcars and commuting became viable. Work in the CBD. Live far out to avoid
complications of CBD rings 1 and 2. Work in CBD.
Zone 5/ring 4 - --Higher-income families in old neighborhoods. Wealthier people wanted to avoid
even ring 3. Fartherest extension of trolley/rail line.
Criticism of Burgess model. - --1. Portion so f each zone exists in most cities, but rarely are connected
to surround CBD etc.
2.Distinct barriers from completing the circles/arcs was old industrial centres.
3. Overemphasized residential patterns and did not give proper credit to other land uses.
Multiple Nuclei Model - --The Urban geomorphology model that large cities develop by peripheral
spread not from one central business district but from several nodes of growth, each of specialized
use. The separately expanding use districts eventually coalesce at their margins. Chauncy Harris and
Edward Ullman.
