| Question | Answer |
| What is Burgess's model of landuse based on? | Concentric rings |
| What are the five concentric rings in Burgess's landuse model? | CBD Inner city Suburbs Outer suburbs Rurban fringe |
| What does CBD stand for? | Central business district |
| Give features of the CBD in Burgess's model. (hint: there are four) | Oldest buildings in city Very expensive land values (high demand for limited area) Shops, offices and entertainment Most accessible location in city |
| Give features of the inner city in Burgess's model. (hint: there are three) | Some derelict Victorian factories Victorian terraced houses (built for factory workers) New council estates (where Victorian slums have been demolished) |
| Give a feature of the suburbs in Burgess's model. | Semi-detached houses built since WW2 |
| Give features of the outer suburbs in Burgess's model. (hint: there are two) | Detached houses built since WW2 New council estates built on edge of city |
| What is meant by the term 'functional zone'? | The overriding purpose of a given area of land in a city |
| List ten landuse functions. | Residential Education Healthcare Business Leisure Retail Transport Agriculture Open space Changing |
| What is the land value paradox? | The idea that the least available land (which there is a limited supply of) is the most expensive, yet the houses built on it are the cheapest, whilst the cheapest land (open space) has the most expensive housing built upon it. |
| What is a 'twilight zone'? | An area in the inner city where landuse (not necessarily function) is constantly changing |
| What happens to building density from the centre to the edge of cities? | Building density decreases as you move outwards from the CBD |
| Why does building density become less further from the CBD? | The need to conserve land it less (it is cheaper and more available) More housing near work / businesses Modern transport allows commuting for those who can afford it (who typically have larger housing demands) |
| Why may residential areas built between the two world wars be unlikely to be targeted for development? (hint: there are three reasons) | Priority to replace older properties in the inner city (inter-war more likely suburbs), still suitable for today's living Land available around these zones so redevelopment unnecessary Likely elderly owner-occupiers - reluctant to relocate - more affluent - more stable community - better maintenance |
| Describe the three type of landuses which typically characterise the inner city. | Residential - Victorian terraces and high rise flats (council owned), redeveloped apartments (mixed ownership) Old industry (historic overspill) Transport (roads / access to CBD) |
| Why is (or was) housing dense in the inner city? (hint: there are 2 points) | - Workers needed to be close to industry (less advanced transport systems) - Best use made of expensive land - lots of houses built |
| How do major roads affect urban growth? | Housing and industry may be located further from the CBD as transport allows commuting Linear urban growth as development can take place along these routes |
| Explain why modern industry chooses out-of-town sites. (hint: there are five points) | More space to build factories CBD is congested Land is cheaper Larger available workforce (people live further from CBD now) Advanced transport allows easy communication with (multiple) CBD(s) |
| Explain the differences between the inner city and the outer suburbs. (hint: there are seven points) | Age of building Land value Housing value Housing density Affluence of residents Amount of open space Pollution levels |
