1. Examine the spatial pattern of economic activity Examine the zoning of urban and suburban functions and the internal structure of the CBD

2. What factors influence the location of industry?

3. What different land uses are there in urban areas?

4. Prepare annotated diagrams of
Burgess
Hoyt
Harris and Ulman

5. Urban structure A combination of form and function
As towns grow different functions group together forming functional zones.
The shape or form is referred to as urban morphology
Also affected by topography, climate and human factors

6. Burgess, concentric zone model 1924
Based on concepts of competition and dominance.
Assumption that within a city people compete for limited space
Only those who could afford them gained the best locations for homes and businesses
Therefore poorest groups had the least choice and left with the worst locations.
Functional zones are concentric and different in terms of age and character.

7. Hoyt sector model (1939) Extension of Burgess
Agreement that high income groups bought up best residential land
Belief that as the city expanded, residential areas of similar socio economic status would grow outwards from the CBD in patterns of wedges or sectors
Sectors develop because some outlying areas have better access to the CBD than others. E.g. high class residential areas grew up along suburban railway lines.

8. Harris and Ullman (1945) Challenge to the idea of a single CBD
Suggestion that a town might grow around a number of different nucleii
E.g. former villages swallowed by city growth and new suburban shopping centres

9. Some activities locate near each other – e. g
Some activities locate near each other – e.g. shops so that customers can compare prices
Some land uses repel others e.g. high value housing not found close to manufacturing
Some activities can pay higher rents than others e.g. offices and shops can afford high rents so locate in the CBD, but manufacturing cannot afford so locate on cheaper sites.

10. Explain how economic activity can be explained by a land use model.
P391 Waugh

11. The CBD Is the economic and commercial core of the city.
Fig P302 (Course companion) shows the features of a CBD.
