| Micropolitan statistical area | MooSA is an urbanized area between 10,000 and 50,000 residents, country in which it is found and adjacent areas core based statistical areas: CBSAs are the combined 366 MSAs and 574 MooSAs |

| Morphology | is the shape, layout, and physical form or structure of a city |
| Concentric zone model | EW burgess developed it too . Fits with the bid-rent theory; however, it’s too simple to be a definitive model |
| Hoyt sector model | developed by H. Hoyt, assumes that land use is conditioned by transportation routes radiating outward from a city center. Stresses the importance of bid-rent theory AND transportation routes. However, it’s still too simple to define all cities |
| Multiple nuclei model | developed by C.D Harris and E.L Ullman. Land patterns are formed around several nodes that attract certain uses and repel others. Correctly points out that more than one focal point influencing land use, however overtime the nodes run into each other. |
| The galactic peripheral model | developed by Harris. An inner city surrounded by a large suburban residential and service nodes tied together by a beltway. Influenced by suburban growth. Added edge cities. Most realistic model and takes into account suburbs. |
| Edge cities | nodes of consumer and business services. Originated as suburban residences, and as population grows more services and business arise until they can operate independently |
| Census tracts | contain approx 5000 residents and correspond to neighborhood boundaries |
| Griffin Ford model | the distribution of class in latin american CBDs are influenced by physical geography. |
| Squatter settlements | LDCs cannot provide housing for all of their poor, and so cities growing from migration form rural settlements in search of jobs. Housing shortages cause people to live in homes even though they have no legal claim to the land. |
