6.5 The Internal Structure of Cities

• The internal structure of cities reflects economic activities and social stratification.


  True
• What is the central zone of the concentric zone model called?

  CBD
• Which city is an example where the concentric zone model fits well?

  Chicago
• What is typically found in the industrial sector of the sector model?

  Factories
• Which city is an example where the sector model fits well?

  Minneapolis
• The sector model often reflects economic specializations and social stratification.


  True
• What is a key feature of the sector model?

  Specialized sectors
• What is the primary function of the CBD in the concentric zone model?

  Commercial activities
• The sector model represents urban areas as sectors following major transportation routes
• What is typically found in the upper-class residential sector of the sector model?

  Large homes
• Match the urban structure model with its key feature:

  Concentric Zone ↔️ Single CBD with zones

  Sector ↔️ Sectors radiating from CBD

  Multiple Nuclei ↔️ Multiple specialized nodes
• The overall urban structure in the multiple nuclei model is less centralized and more polycentric
• In the multiple nuclei model, specialized nodes often develop along major transportation routes
• For what type of metropolitan areas is the multiple nuclei model particularly useful?

  Large, complex metropolitan areas
• The concentric zone and sector models both assume a monocentric urban structure.


  True
• The internal structure of cities refers to how different regions within a city are organized
• What is the central feature of the concentric zone model?

  Concentric circles from the CBD
• Order the zones in the concentric zone model from the CBD outward:

  1️⃣ CBD

  2️⃣ Transition Zone

  3️⃣ Working-Class Housing

  4️⃣ Middle-Class Housing

  5️⃣ Commuter Zone
• What is the central feature of the sector model?

  Sectors along transportation routes
• What is the key concept of the multiple nuclei model?

  Multiple specialized urban centers
• Match the urban structure model with its key feature:

  Concentric Zone ↔️ Radiating circles from the CBD

  Sector ↔️ Sectors along transport routes

  Multiple Nuclei ↔️ Multiple centers with specialized functions
• The sector model assumes the importance of transportation and historical growth
• What does the internal structure of cities refer to?

  Arrangement of regions
• The concentric zone model depicts urban areas as concentric circles radiating from the CBD
• The concentric zone model assumes uniform flat terrain.


  True
• The sector model depicts urban areas as sectors radiating from the CBD
• Major transportation routes influence sector growth in the sector model.


  True
• The concentric zone model depicts urban areas as concentric circles radiating from the CBD
• What is a key feature of the concentric zone model?

  Circular zones
• The concentric zone model depicts circular zones with decreasing density
• The concentric zone model represents urban areas as a series of concentric circles
• The concentric zone model assumes flat terrain and radial growth from the center.


  True
• Social stratification is a key assumption of the sector model.


  True
• The multiple nuclei model is useful for understanding complex metropolitan areas.


  True
• The multiple nuclei model depicts urban areas as having multiple centers rather than a single CBD.


  True
• Match the urban structure model with its key feature:

  Concentric Zone Model ↔️ Single CBD with radiating zones

  Sector Model ↔️ Sectors radiating from a CBD

  Multiple Nuclei Model ↔️ Multiple independent specialized nodes
• The concentric zone model depicts urban areas as concentric circles radiating from the CBD
• What factors influence the development of nodes in the multiple nuclei model?

  Land values, accessibility, historical growth
• Match the urban structure model with its key feature:

  Concentric Zone ↔️ Circular zones from the CBD

  Sector ↔️ Sectors along transport routes
• The CBD in the concentric zone model is characterized by high-density commercial activities
