| 5913177321 | Concentric Zone Model | Burgess Model, The Bull's Eye Model, Concentric Ring Model, Concentric Circles Model | 2 | |
| 5913177322 | Problems with Concentric Zone Model | -Does not work well outside the U.S. -Does not work well because of changes in transportation and technology -Assumes transportation is the same everywhere -Does not take shops and industry into account | 3 | |

| 5913177326 | Sector Model | AKA the Hoyt Model | 7 | |
| 5913177327 | Problems with Sector Model | -Did not take cars into consideration -Because of cars, people can live anywhere and further from the city and still travel to the CBD | 8 | |
| 5913177328 | Multiple Nuclei Model | A model of urban land use in which a city grows from several independent points rather than from one CBD Each point acts as a growth center from a particular kind of land use. As these expand, they form a single urban area |  | 9 |
| 5913177329 | Multiple Nuclei Model | -Takes into account the varied factors of decentralization in the structure of modern North American cities -Distance decay is still applicable | 10 | |
| 5913177330 | Problems with Multiple Nuclei Model | -Negligent of building heights -Abrupt division between zones -Unaware of inertia forces -No consideration of government policy | 11 | |
| 5913177331 | Peripheral Model | A model of an urban area that consists of an inner city surrounded by large suburban residential and business areas tied together by a beltway or ring road -Goes with development of urban sprawl -Decentralization of CBD -Works with the idea of edge cities |  | 12 |
| 5913177332 | Edge city | a relatively large urban area situated on the outskirts of a city, typically beside a major road. | 13 | |

| 5913177335 | South East Asian City Model | AKA the McGee Model | 16 | |
| 5913177336 | Problems with the South East Asian City Model | Most SE Asian cities are rapidly developing and likely to change | 17 | |
