Page 5: Warm-Up Activity

  • Task: Discuss factors influencing location within a city

Page 6: Land Use Overview

  • Urban Land Use

    • Land costs decrease with distance from CBD

    • Business, retail, manufacturing, and residential locations relative to CBD

Page 7: Models of Urban Structure

  • Concentric Zone Model

    • Economic activities centralized near the CBD, with outward zones including:

      • Zone of transition

      • Working-class residential areas

      • Middle-class residences

      • Commuter zone

Page 8: Urban Structure Models

  • Hoyt Sector Model

    • Segments develop along transportation routes

    • Access and distance from CBD shape city segments

  • Harris and Ullman Multiple Nuclei Model

    • Economic activities cluster in nodes (e.g., business and manufacturing)

Page 9: Galactic City Model

  • Peripheral Model

    • Decentralization linked to automobile use

    • Includes edge cities and specialized subcenters

Page 10: Latin America City Model

  • Griffin-Ford Model

    • Shares characteristics of concentric and sector models

    • Market center includes both modern business and historical buildings

    • Wealthy residents near city spine; disamenity zones present

Page 11: African City Model

  • De Blij Model

    • Concentric rings and sectors radiate from three CBDs:

      • Colonial CBD

      • Traditional CBD

      • Open-air markets

    • Higher-income areas in CBDs; periphery features squatter settlements

Page 12: Southeast Asian City Model

  • McGee Model

    • Port-centered growth without clear CBD

    • Consistent zones: port and intensive market gardening

Page 13: Urban Housing Density

  • Residential Land Use

    • Density decreases with distance from CBD

    • Wealthier residents live farther from CBD; poorer households are closer

    • U.S. cities have dense cores but are overall sparsely populated compared to global cities

Page 14: Urban Housing Development

  • Historical Influence on Density

    • Older cities developed for walkability

    • U.S. suburbs built for affluent populations, leading to vacated urban homes for poorer residents

Page 15: Housing Density Categories

  • Density Descriptions

    • High-density: Common in large cities with high-rise buildings

    • Medium-density: Found in older U.S. cities

    • Low-density: Typical in suburban areas with single-family homes

Page 16: Zoning and Density

  • Zoning

    • Division of urban areas into zones for specific land uses

    • Planning and zoning changes can increase housing density

    • Higher density facilitates improved services

Page 17: Importance of Infrastructure

  • Infrastructure Significance

    • Essential for a well-functioning society

Page 18: Infrastructure and Daily Life

  • Functions of Infrastructure

    • Essential services include police, fire, hospitals, etc.

    • Poor infrastructure results in disease and challenges in daily activities

Page 19: Infrastructure Development

  • Core vs. Peripheral Countries

    • Core countries have superior infrastructure; peripheral countries struggle

    • Economic disparities exist within the same country, influenced by infrastructure strength

Page 20: Strong Infrastructure Benefits

  • Economic Implications

    • Supports business operations and labor market effectiveness

    • Enhances lives and aims for greater equality

Page 21: Political Organization and Infrastructure

  • Municipal Responsibilities

    • City governments manage infrastructure and services

    • Challenges arise from multiple jurisdictions not cooperating effectively

Page 22: Qualitative Data in Urban Studies

  • Qualitative Research Techniques

    • Focuses on narratives through interviews and observations

Page 23: Quantitative Data in Urban Studies

  • Quantitative Data Collection

    • Involves measurable data samples and statistical methods

Page 24: Types of Quantitative Data

  • Data Types

    • Nominal: Named data (e.g., types of housing)

    • Ordinal: Ranked data (e.g., low, medium, high)

    • Interval: Ordered with meaningful differences (e.g., temperature)

    • Ratio: Same as interval with true zero value (e.g., acreage)

    • Census Bureau is a key quantitative data source

Page 25: Exit Ticket Questions

  • 1. Compare density of residential land in sources A and B.

  • 2. Explain cultural influences on residential land use development.

Page 26: Exit Ticket Possible Answers

  • Factors to consider:

    • Privacy attitudes

    • Green space availability

    • Home ownership trends

    • Proximity to work and transportation

    • Cultural opportunities

    • Characteristics of high-density housing close to CBD (bid rent theory)
