Urban Models & Settlement Function
Learning objectives
•To know what a land use model is
•To understand the Burgess Model
•To be able to recognize and describe the different

Urban Earth: London
• Task: Jot down (swiftly!)any changes you

building and building height.)

Urban Land Use
Transect across a typical British city
How does the land use change from the CBD to the
greenbelt?
Simple land use transect:
CBDInner City Inner CitySuburbs Suburbs
Urban growth
original
settlement
Most towns and
cities grow from a
small, original
settlement.
In Britain, many
towns grew rapidly
in the nineteenth
and twentieth
centuries.
??
Different land uses in cities develop due to issues of:
Space available
Age of area
Accessibility
Land values
Wealth
Planning policies
Task
 Draw a cartoon for each of
the zones using page 70-71
and the photos
 Describe each zone, focusing
on:
 Population
 Buildings e.g. density, height,
age, type
 Economic functions e.g. shops,
residential
 Problems e.g. Land price,
conflict, pollution
Distance from city centre
CBD Inner city Inner suburbs
Outer
suburbs
R-U fringe
• High
population
during the day
(people work
there)
• Tall buildings,
new and old,
very dense,
skyscrapers and
high-rise flats
• Business and
shopping
• Expensive,
crowded
