What is the burgess model
The burgess model is a concentric ring model with three or more locations, burgess says the city is older at the core and newer nearer the fringes of the city, but a problem with this model is he never took into consideration rivers or hills so cities will need to form around them instead of being perfect rings
What do you find in CBD
In the cbd I expect to find public transport, high rise condensed buildings, grid iron street patterns, pedestrianised streets, shopping, restaurants and entertainment.
Why so there public transport in the cbd
Because it is a main route centre and people use it to transport by bus or train to work which could be shops or offices
Why is there shops and offices and why is the cbd old.
There is shops and offices in the cbd because the land value is so high so they are the only land use that can afford the land. The cbd is the oldest part of the city so that’s why you expect to find churches and older buildings.
What do you find in inner city
You find old tedement buildings because of the ship buildings nearby you also find old factories for this aswell
Why is the tedment buildings near the factories
Glasgow is famous for ship building which means the population rised for people to work there. The tedement buildings where built near factories because people could walk to there work because back in the day there wasn’t much transport about.
What do you find in suburbs
You expect to find modern privately owned houses because these have been built recently because of popular demand for people to move to the city.
Why is housing more expensive in suburbs
It is more expensive because land value is so cheap to builders can build large detached houses and sell them for a high price.they are also more expensive because of gentrification which is when urban neighbourhoods undergo transformation due to more demand for residents
