Concentric Zone Model

The Burgess model describes the distribution of social groups in an urban area with concentric zones radiating outward from the city center. The innermost zone is the Central Business District, followed by a zone in transition, then a zone of working-class homes, a zone of better residences, and an outer commuter's zone. While the sizes of the zones vary, most cities follow this general order.
