Chapter 9 - Urban Geography

Article:

somebody wanted but so then 
Developers want to develop as much land as they can, but in this process they are hurting the environment by turning the world into a concrete jungle, so some cities are discussing plans to give developers small tax breaks for creating environmentally friendly solutions then they will perhaps leave a slightly smaller carbon foot print.  

Sector Model: 


This model proposes that a city is not divided in rings but as slices of a pie, each pie slice representing a different zone. This model was created by Hoyt.


Concentric Zone Model: 

The Concentric Zone Model separates cities in to 5 concentric zones each represented by a different ring. This model was created by Burgees.


New and Improved Model of Latin American City Structure 

The New and Improved Model of Latin American City Structure revolves around the CBD (the top connected black box) and then shows the commercial and upper-class and then the "mall" (the bottom connected black box). The model also shows the "disamenity" part of the city (the orange) which is the poorest part of the city.

 Multiple Nuclei Model :
 The Multiple Nuclei Model is different from the other models in that it does not depict a city with a single nuclei, instead it proposes that a city can have multiple nuclei. This model was created by Harris and Ullman in the 1940's 


 Model of a Subsaharan African City: 
The Model of a Subsaharan African City depicts three different CBDs. The first is the lasting CBD from colonial occupation. The second is the transitional business center where commerce is from curbside, stalls or storefronts and the third is informal and sometimes periodic market zone.

The Generalized Model of  Land Used Areas in the Large Southeast Asian City Model 

The Generalized Model of  Land Used Areas in the Large Southeast Asian City Model has no CBD in its place is an old colonial port zone and what is considered a largely commercial district containing a western commercial zone, the government zone and an alien commercial zone (characterized by Chinese who's dwellings are attached to their businesses).

Map:


The map I chose was Japan, because Japan is one of the most densely populated places in the world and is its suburbs are a perfect example of urban sprawl. The tightly packed suburbs are seemingly endless in the often uniform neighborhoods of Japan.
