6.2. Urban Forms

• In the Concentric Zone Model, cities develop in a series of concentric rings
• Residential areas in the Concentric Zone Model are arranged in a radial pattern.


  True
• The Concentric Zone Model describes cities with multiple specialized centers.

  False
• Order the eras in urban form evolution based on their dominant urban form.

  1️⃣ Pre-Industrial: Compact, organic growth

  2️⃣ Industrial Revolution: Concentric zone model

  3️⃣ 20th Century: Sector and multiple nuclei models
• Pre-industrial cities typically grew around a central market or religious site.


  True
• Match the urban form model with its key features:

  Concentric Zone Model ↔️ Clear separation of land use zones

  Sector Model ↔️ Wedge-shaped sectors along transportation routes

  Multiple Nuclei Model ↔️ Multiple business districts and residential clusters

  Physical layout and structure
• Order the eras of urban form evolution based on their dominant urban form:

  1️⃣ Pre-Industrial: Compact, organic growth

  2️⃣ Industrial Revolution: Concentric zone model

  3️⃣ 20th Century: Sector and Multiple Nuclei models
• The Sector Model explains urban growth along transportation routes

  True
• Match the factor influencing urban forms with its effect:

  Economic Factors ↔️ Concentration of commercial areas

  Transportation ↔️ Suburban expansion

  Government Policies ↔️ Regulation of land use
• Urban sprawl leads to low-density, car-dependent development
