Central place theory - A model that represents the hierarchical spatial order of cities and settlements.
Bid-Rent Theory - Land rent (or cost) is higher near the city center compared to areas farther away.
Gravity Model - This model shows the spatial relationship between locations of different sizes, including the flow of people, trade, traffic, communication, and more.
Concentric zone model - A city organization model that shows rings of factory production and different residential zones radiating outward from the Central Business District (CBD).
Hoyt model - A city organization model that focuses on transportation and communication as the key factors influencing the city’s layout.
Multi-Nuclei model - Cities develop around multiple focal points and expand outward, creating a functional region. Site and situational factors impact land-use patterns. Similar businesses cluster together to benefit from labor pools, suppliers, and communication. Middle and high-income housing is located further from the city center and industrial areas to avoid heavy traffic and pollution.
Galactic city model - A modern model developed in the 1980s, focusing on the decentralization and suburbanization of urban environments.
Griffin-Ford Model - Shares basic features of the Concentric Zone and Sector Models, characterized by a "spine" running from the modernized CBD, through wealthy housing, and connecting to a secondary urban center called the mall.
Southeast Asian City Model - This model is characterized by a port zone, which served as the commercial hub during colonial times, focused on exports rather than having a CBD. The model also includes a secondary commercial zone for Chinese businesses, known as the Alien Commercial Zone, due to the significant presence of Chinese immigrants across Southeast Asia. Additionally, a Western commercial zone reflects the impact of colonialism, where European merchants were concentrated. The market gardening zone is distinct, shaped by the region's climate and agricultural practices.
Sub-Saharan African City Model - This model is characterized by three CBDs and reflects the influence of colonialism across the continent. The traditional CBD features small shops and narrow streets, while the colonial CBD is marked by wide streets, often arranged in grid patterns, and government buildings that showcase European architectural styles.
