What is the concentric zone model?

A model of the internal structure of cites in which social groups are spatially arranged in a series of rings.

How is a concentric zone model laid out?

1: Central business district. 2: Zone of transition. 3: Zone of independent workers' homes. 4: Zone of better residences. 5: Commuter's zone

What is the sector model?

A model of the internal structure of cities in which social groups are arranged around a series of sectors, or wedges, radiating out from the central business district.

What is a multiple nuclei model?

A model of the internal structure of cities in which social groups are arranged around a collection of nodes of activities.

Example of a concentric zone model:

Two households with the same income and ethnic background. One household lives in a newly constructed home, whereas the other lives in an older one.

Example of a sector model:

Two households who own their homes, the sector model suggests that the household with a more modest income is unlikely to live in the same sector of the city as the household with the higher income.

Example of multiple nuclei model:

People with the same ethnic or racial background are likely to live near each other.

Limitations of the models:

None of the 3 models taken individually completely explains why different types of people live in distinctive parts of a city.
