Be able to
- describe the problems of “defining” a city and some of the potential solutions.
- explain and illustrate important models dealing with the urban hierarchy
- Central-place theory
- Rank-size rule and primate cities
- Gravitation model
- explain the growth of suburbs in terms of:
- social and cultural views
- developments in transportation
- current economic changes
- differentiate among the North American urban models:
- Concentric zone
- Sector model
- Multiple nuclei model
- Peripheral model
- describe the uneven development of the inner city/suburbs (and attempts to solve the problems):
- ethnic segregation (gentrification?)
- shift in jobs and the tax base (urban renewal)
- urban sprawl (New Urbanism and in-filling)
- contrast the European and North American cities in terms of:
- CBD functions and landscape/cityscape
- suburbs
