multiple nuclei

Social analysis can be used to predict where newer housing is located (WHAT URBAN MODEL?)

concentric zone

peripheral model (WHAT URBAN MODEL?)

galactic

sector

Specific types of development expand out from the CBD in corridors (WHAT URBAN MODEL?)

sector

Hoyt model (WHAT URBAN MODEL?)

sector

multiple nuclei

CBD surrounded by large are of suburbs bound by a ring road (WHAT URBAN MODEL?)

galactic

Harris/ullam model (WHAT URBAN MODEL?)

multiple nuclei

an area delineated by the US bureau of the census for which statistics are published; in urban areas, census tracts correspond roughly to neighborhoods (VOCAB)

census tracts

what is a statistical analysis used to identify where people of similar living standards, ethnic background, and lifestyle live within an urban area(VOCAB)

social analysis

what is a residential area where housing has been built on land to which the occupants have no legal claim (VOCAB)

informal settlement

In the US, and urbanized area of at least 50,000 people, the county within which the city is located, and adjacent counties meeting one of several tests indicating a functional connection to the central city(VOCAB)

MSA

A collection of overlapping/adjacent MSAs(VOCAB)

megalopolis

the compact center of a city that’s near the original settlement site(VOCAB)

CBD

a settlement that is a node of development located on a transportation ring(VOCAB)

edge city

in the US, an urban area with at least 50,000 inhabitants(VOCAB)

urbanized area

a dense core of census tracts, densely settled suburbs, and low-density land that links the dense suburbs with the core(VOCAB)

urban area

legally incorporated, municipality(VOCAB)

central city

3 CBD: colonial, traditional, and periodic market (WHAT URBAN MODEL?)

concentric zone

Focal point is a port(WHAT URBAN MODEL?)

multiple nuclei

Disamenity sectors where no city services exist(WHAT URBAN MODEL?)

sector

Most commonly found in Africa (WHAT URBAN MODEL?)

concentric zone

no true CBD, but there are zones that appear that way- gov zone, western zone, alien zone(WHAT URBAN MODEL?)

multiple nuclei

Most commonly found in Latin America (WHAT URBAN MODEL?)

sector

Most commonly found in Asia (WHAT URBAN MODEL?)

multiple nuclei

typically contains a commercial spine(WHAT URBAN MODEL?)

sector

MCGEE model (WHAT URBAN MODEL?)

multiple nuclei

surrounded by barricades, favelas, bidonvilles, basters, gecekondu, kampongs, or Barong Barong depending on the region (WHAT URBAN MODEL?)

concentric zone

are CBD land values the highest of any zone in the metropolitan area?

yes

what is the sector model highly influenced by?

transportation patterns

are department stores or big retailers usually found in the CBD?

no

Why are factories in the suburbs?

cheaper land prices

Why is CBD land used so intensively?

large real estate prices

Population of this type of settlement increased rapidly after WW2 bcz returning people married and had children, requiring good housing (VOCAB)

suburbs

Relatively low density development at locations that are not contiguous to the existing built up area and is also fostered. by the desire of some families to own large tracts of land (VOCAB)

sprawl

Graphic phenomenon where the # of houses per unit of land diminishes as distance from center city increases (VOCAB)

density gradient

Legislation/regulations limiting suburban growth and preserve farmland(VOCAB)

smart growth

Process of partitioning markets into groups of potential customers with similar needs and characteristics who are likely to exhibit similar purchasing behavior (VOCAB)

segmentation

Process of converting an urban neighborhood from a low income, renter occupied area into a middle class, owner occupied area(VOCAB)

gentrification

redlining

blockbusting

are inner city houses in better condition than suburban houses?

no

what is the MAJOR side effect of generification

the area becomes too expensive for the residents who previously lived there

What are the reduced congestion methods?

tolls, congestion charges, permits, bans

which region in the US has the least environmental impact with electric vehicles?

NW

How does the UK limit urban sprawl?

greenbelts

what are the 2 major changes to the density gradient in US urban areas over last century

few differences in density within urban areas, fewer people living in center of the urban area

what were borcherts 5 transport epocs in order from 1800 to 2000?

sail wagon, iron horse, steel rail, auto air amenity, satellite electronic jet propulsion

cooperative agency consisting of representatives of the various local governments in the region (VOCAB)

council of governments

legally adding land area to a city in the US (VOCAB)

annexation

In the US, the collection of all metropolitan statistical areas and micropolitan statistical areas (VOCAB)
