Models from Burgess and Hoyt
Burgess concluded that city land-use could be identified as a series of concentric rings around the CBD.
The CBD will contain all the major shops and offices and be a centre of entertainment.
Surrounding this CBD will be the oldest housing, which is in a state of deterioration. Industry will also feature in this area. This is the area often referred to as the inner city or 'zone of transition'.
Then, we get three rings of housing. The first will be high density, poor quality that traditionally houses the workers for the factories.
Next, is slightly lower density, middle class housing. These will be semi-detached with gardens.
Finally, there is a ring of high class housing for those who can afford to commute.
