we learned about… • Concentric Zone Model (Burgess) • Sector Model (Hoyt) • Multiple-Nuclei Model (Harris and Ullman)
…and we learned • These models are out of date/changed • Based on transportation method of the time • Cities rely on accessibility • Cities are an economic base • So, they change with the changing economy • Car made it decentralized • Hard to park • Office space emerging outside of cities • Cheaper to put a factory outside of the city
The Suburbs • Burgess and Hoyt developed BEFORE cars are popular • Concept of suburb began in 1890’s Chicago • Post World War II • People have disposable income (they couldn’t buy things during war) • Cars are more popular • Oil is plentiful • 1950’s
Suburbanization • Detached single-family house is dominant • Predominantly middle-class • Upper class suburbs do exist, as do lower-class • Originally populated by WASPs • White Anglo Saxon Protestants • 1970’s-1980’s more Catholics and minority middle-class • In 2000 census • 50% of U.S. population lived in suburbs
Movement of people to suburbs • Middle class and white collar workers moved out of city • Took economic base with them • Multiplier effect at play • The grocery store, the hair care salon, the dry cleaner moved where their clients had moved to • Created areas where functions of CBD were recreated • Deindustrialization also took a lot of jobs from the city • Fourth Ward (From worksheet) is a carry over of this process • “Poorer, older, least-advantage urbanite were left behind” (Getis, p. 399).
Peripheral Model Can be combined with other models or stand alone -CBD: city hall, tourism, some specialized functions -Old street car lines: Often areas of poverty -Edge Cities: Office Space, shopping centers Mailinowski & Kapaln (2013), p. 313
…but wait, there’s more! • Peripheral Model does not account for a return to the city center • People are actually now returning to the city center • AP Human Geography materials have not kept up with this aspect • Seen in artists in Detropia • Who is now living Uptown? • Gentrification (Pro’s & Con’s) • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3AQDDo9YRs
