    Based on human ecology theory done by Burgess and applied on Chicago, it was the first to give the explanation of distribution of social groups within urban areas.This concentric ring model depicts urban land usage in concentric rings: the Central Business District (or CBD) was in the middle of the model, and the city is expanded in rings with different land uses.

    The concentric Zone Model provided a stylized description of the urban form, derived from Ernest Burgess's 1920's idea: the bid-rent curve. This implicated that the core central zone of a city becomes used as the Central Business District, then surrounded in turn by a zone of transition between areas of profession and that of working-class ...

    This creates nodes or nuclei in other parts of the city besides the CBD thus the name multiple nuclei model. Their aim was to produce a more realistic, if more complicated, model. Their main goals in this were to: Move away from the concentric zone model; Better reflect the complex nature of urban areas, especially those of larger size

  7. Zone of transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_of_Transition

    Zone of transition is the area between the factory zone and the working-class zone in the concentric zone model of urban structure devised by Ernest Burgess. The zone of transition is an area of flux where the land use begins to change. In the core frame model showing the structure of the center of the city, the zone of transition encircles the ...

    Sociologist Ernest Burgess's prominent concentric circle model depicted urban areas as a series of concentric functional zones that sorted population groups. [77] [78] It proposed a central business core, circled by transitional immigrant and working class areas, then by more affluent outer commuter rings. [79]

  9. Urban structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_structure

    This model was the first to explain distribution of social groups within urban areas. Based on one single city, Chicago, it was created by sociologist Ernest Burgess [2] in 1924. According to this model, a city grows outward from a central point in a series of concentric rings. The innermost ring represents the central business district. It is ...
