Kontext
This diagram follows the Burgess Model of land use in urban areas.
Open land is more common further away from the city centre and is usually cheaper.
Central Business District (CBD):
Highly accessible
Attractive to businesses
Shops, entertainment, and offices
Central location
Connected to public transport
Inner City:
Highly dense accomodation - workers needed to live nearby the CBD
Few areas of open land
Often redeveloped due to counter-urbanisation and suburbanisation
Terraces and high-rise flats
Inner Suburbs:
Larger semi-detached homes with gardens
Cheaper than living in the inner city
Created as transport becomes cheaper
Outer Suburbs:
At the edge of the city
Detached homes and housing estates
Retail parks and supermarkets
Some businesses move here to take advantage of good transport links
