Concentric Zone Model
The Concentric Zone Model arranges different social groups into five different circles, which represents the internal structure of cities.
1. Central Business District - This area represents the business in the city known as "downtown". Government buildings, stadiums, and restaurants are also a part of this area. With the high land cost in this area, it's a non-residential area and sky scrapers are built to take advantage of the expensive land.
2. Transitional Zone - This zone contains industry, like factories, along with cheap, low quality housing. Immigrants and single individuals tend to live her as most of the houses are made for one or two people.
3. Working class Zone - Contains better quality housing than the Transitional zone, which house working class families. Most of the people who live here rent their homes.
4. Residential Zone - The homes are newer and bigger than the other zones. Middle class families occupy this area with a less percentage of people who rent.
5 - Commuter Zone - This is known as the suburbs.
