Robert Park and Burgess arranged modern cities in a series of the following concentric zones:
1. Commuters' zone
2. Zone in transition
3. Central business district
4. Zone of working population
5. Residential zone
According to park and burgess, the correct sequence of these five concentric zones starting from the centre and going outward is
Explanation:
- Park and Burgess proposed the Concentric Zone Model, mapping urban cities in five rings from the center outwards.
- The correct order of zones, from innermost to outermost is:
1. Central Business District (CBD)
2. Zone in Transition
3. Zone of Working Population
4. Residential Zone
5. Commuter’s Zone
- Central Business District: City’s core, business and commercial hub.
- Zone in Transition: Mix of industry and poorer housing, often deteriorating.
- Zone of Working Population: Lower-income, working-class homes.
- Residential Zone: Middle-class, better-quality housing.
- Commuters’ Zone: Suburbs, people travel to CBD for work.
Let's check the options:
- Option 1: 3, 4, 2, 5, 1
CBD ? Working Population ? Transition ? Residential ? Commuters
(Transition and Working Pop. are switched, so not correct)
- Option 2: 3, 2, 4, 5, 1
CBD ? Transition ? Working Pop. ? Residential ? Commuters
(This matches the classic model)
- Option 3: 3, 5, 1, 4, 2
Incorrect order.
- Option 4: 4, 5, 2, 3, 1
Incorrect order.
Option 2 is correct: 3, 2, 4, 5, 1
