6.5 The Internal Structure of Cities

• What does the internal structure of cities refer to?

  Spatial organization of land use
• The internal structure of cities is influenced by factors such as transportation networks and land values.

  True
• Order the sectors in the Sector Model based on their typical land use:

  1️⃣ CBD

  2️⃣ Industrial

  3️⃣ Low-Income Residential

  4️⃣ High-Income Residential
• The Concentric Zone Model describes cities as organized in a series of concentric rings or zones.


  True
• The Zone of Transition in the Concentric Zone Model is characterized by deteriorating housing
• What is the shape of land use organization in the sector model?

  Wedge-shaped sectors
• What are the key factors influencing the location of sectors in the sector model?

  Transportation and land values
• Match the nucleus in the Multiple Nuclei Model with its primary land use:

  CBD ↔️ Retail and office center

  Wholesale and Light Manufacturing District ↔️ Industrial and commercial activity

  Lower-Class Residential ↔️ Affordable housing areas

  Major Retail Center ↔️ Shopping malls and retail clusters
• What is the distinguishing feature of the multiple nuclei model compared to the other two models?

  Multiple specialized centers
• The sector model organizes land use into wedge-shaped sectors radiating from the CBD along major transportation corridors
• The location of sectors in the sector model is influenced by transportation networks and land values.
• The wholesale and light manufacturing district is one type of nuclei in the multiple nuclei model.
• What is a weakness of the concentric zone model?

  Ignores transportation corridors
• The internal structure of cities is described by several urban models
• What is the core of the city in the Concentric Zone Model called?

  Central Business District
• Prime transportation corridors influence the location of sectors in the Sector Model.

  True
• What is the outermost zone of the concentric zone model called?

  Commuter Zone
• Match the zone in the Concentric Zone Model with its description:

  Central Business District (CBD) ↔️ The core of the city with high land values

  Zone of Transition ↔️ Area with deteriorating housing and commercial encroachment

  Zone of Independent Workers' Homes ↔️ Older, lower-income residential neighborhoods

  Zone of Better Residences ↔️ Higher-income, single-family homes and apartments

  Commuter Zone ↔️ Outermost zone with newer suburbs
• The Zone of Independent Workers' Homes in the Concentric Zone Model is often occupied by recent immigrants and minority groups.

  True
• The sector model organizes land use into wedge-shaped sectors radiating from the CBD
• High-income residential areas in the sector model are found along major roads with good access to the CBD
• What is the primary land use of the CBD in the multiple nuclei model?

  Retail and office center
• The concentric zone model fails to account for transportation corridors in urban development.


  True
• In the concentric zone model, cities are organized in concentric rings with the CBD at the core
• Match the zone in the Concentric Zone Model with its land use:

  CBD ↔️ Retail and offices

  Zone of Transition ↔️ Mixed residential and light industry

  Zone of Independent Workers' Homes ↔️ Low to moderate-income housing

  Zone of Better Residences ↔️ Higher-income residential areas
• High-income residential areas in the sector model are located near prime transportation routes.


  True
• Prime transportation corridors in the sector model attract higher-income residents.


  True
• Land values influence the development of multiple nuclei in the multiple nuclei model.

  True
• The sector model ignores multiple activity centers in urban development.
• Match the urban model with its description:

  Concentric Zone Model ↔️ Cities are organized in concentric rings

  Sector Model ↔️ Cities are organized into wedge-shaped sectors

  Multiple Nuclei Model ↔️ Cities have multiple centers or nuclei
• The Zone of Transition in the Concentric Zone Model is characterized by deteriorating housing.
• What is unique about the Multiple Nuclei Model compared to the other urban models?

  It has multiple centers
• The concentric zone model is influenced by factors such as transportation, land values, zoning regulations, and the socioeconomic status of the population
• What characterizes the Central Business District (CBD) in the Concentric Zone Model?

  Highest land values
• Order the zones of the Concentric Zone Model from the center outward:

  1️⃣ Central Business District (CBD)

  2️⃣ Zone of Transition

  3️⃣ Zone of Independent Workers' Homes

  4️⃣ Zone of Better Residences

  5️⃣ Commuter Zone
• High-income residential areas in the sector model are typically located along major roads with good access to the CBD.


  True
• The multiple nuclei model suggests that cities have several specialized centers rather than a single CBD.


  True
• Factors such as transportation networks, land values, and zoning regulations influence the development of multiple nuclei
• Which urban model accounts for major transportation routes and industrial specialization?

  Sector model
• The sector model organizes cities into wedge-shaped sectors radiating from the CBD along transportation corridors.
