| A model of the internal structure of cities in which social are group are spatially arranged in a series of rings. | ||
| When two major cities meet. | ||
| When the CBD becomes revatilized through various means. | ||
| Goods purchased on a regular basis. Distance willing to travel is small. I.e. Milk, neccesities | ||
| A good that is purchased less frequently. I.e. maserati, expensive goods | ||
| How far someone is willing to travel to purchase a good. | ||

| Growth occurs in rings around the CBD (Chicago) Poor and industry are around CBD Workers need to be close so they are in the next ring poor mid rich Rich can afford to commute | ||
| industry next to CBD, workers next to industry, middle class acting as a buffer and then the high class . You will not have the high class touching the low class Transportation is key in this model and growth occurs outwards along major roads or rail lines Also called Corridor growth High class will have access to the CBD - eg. Toronto - Rosedale Toronto has corridor growth along some rail lines and roads like Spadina, Yonge and University See diagram | ||
| Based on Nodal growth - Particular centers begin the growth Each classification has its own node or center Relates to modern cities with detached suburb and industry Heavy industry has moved out of CBD A second CBD is taken into account The rest is the same pattern as the other two but remember: Concentric - rings, Sector - corridors and Multi-Nuclei - nodes Toronto has nodal growth - Yonge and Sheppard with a second CBD. We have heavy industry on the outskirts - Airport, Brampton, Burlington. See diagram | ||
| West of the CBD. As the CBD begins to grow and expand, it will grow west, as people do not wish to be part of the zone of assimilation. An example would be the condos near the CN Tower | ||
| The area east of the CBD. The pollution from the CBD will blow over this area and rich people are less likely to want to live there. Heavy industry and government housing is typically to the east of the CBD |
