Models of Cities in MEDCs
Landuse
models are theories which attempt to explain the layout of urban
areas. A model is used to simplify complex, real world situations,
and make them easier to explain and understand. There are two
main landuse models that apply to urban areas in MEDCS (More Economically
Developed Countries). The first is the Concentric Model (also
known as the Burgess model)
The
second is the Sector Model (also known as the Hoyt model).
