Which model emphasizes housing patterns with outward growth in pie-shaped sectors from the center, placing the CBD at the core and arranging zones like Transportation & Industry, Low-Class Residential, Middle-Class Residential, and High-Class Residential?

Which model emphasizes housing patterns with outward growth in pie-shaped sectors from the center, placing the CBD at the core and arranging zones like Transportation & Industry, Low-Class Residential, Middle-Class Residential, and High-Class Residential?

• A. Sector Model
• B. Peripheral Model
• C. Concentric Zone Model
• D. Urban Realms Model

Answer: (A)

The Sector Model describes city growth in pie-shaped sectors that radiate outward from the central business district. As the city expands, development follows transportation routes, creating wedges where different land uses cluster. You’ll see a corridor for Transportation & Industry, then adjacent sectors for Low-Class Residential, Middle-Class Residential, and farther out, High-Class Residential. The CBD sits at the center, and growth pushes outward along these sectors, producing the characteristic wedge-shaped patterns. This idea contrasts with the Concentric Zone Model, which envisions rings around the center; and with the Peripheral Model, which emphasizes suburban belts and edge cities connected to a outer ring; and with the Urban Realms Model, which highlights multiple independent centers around a core city.
