About this document

Burgess Urban Land Use Model Explained by Ramon Bryan is a document available to read on EtoBox.

1) The Burgess Urban Land Use Model developed by Ernest Burgess in 1925 divides cities into concentric zones expanding outward from the central business district (CBD). 2) The model assumes households of higher socioeconomic status live further from the CBD to gain better housing, but at the cost of longer commuting times. 3) The zones under this model are: the CBD, a factory zone, a transitional zone, a working class zone, a residential zone, and a commuter zone with the highest class housing.
