GEOGRAPHY – RACE, INCOME AND STANDARD OF LIVING IN MANHATTAN, NYC
Land Use models are employed with the idea that cities do not grow in a random manner and actually tend to develop distinctive patterns in terms of urban land use as they grow. Urban Land Use models are simplified versions and generalisations of these trends in urban land development and represent the land use functions within a city. Despite this, itis important to note that not every city can be perfectly applied to a given model and several factors may cause it to develop in different ways than a model suggests.
The Burgess concentric Ring Model suggests that a city may develop and grow from the Central Business District (CBD) and outwards in what seem to be rings of land use around the city. This would mean hat the oldest part of the city would be at its center- the CBD, and the newest would be on the outer edge of the city. IN addition to this the quality/size of residential housing increases and density of housing decreases as you get further away from the CBD placing higher class residents nearer to the outskirts of a city despite that building height would be at its greatest along with peak land values closer to the CBD.
In contrast to this the Hoyt’s Sector Model which was developed further after the development of public transport, suggests that industrial areas develop from the CBD outwards following important transportation lines suggest as major roads or even rivers perhaps. Alongside these industrial districts would be a streak of lower class resProxy-Connection: keep-alive

ential regions bordered by medium class housing on either side of the industrial sectors and lower class residential sectors.
