Burgess Concentric Zone Model


The Burgess Concentric Zone Model was created in the 1920s by American geographer E.W. Burgess.

Burgess divided cities into 5 key zones, with the CBD in the centre. he suggested that a city would develop its land use in all directions around the CBD.

Auckland can be modeled by the Burgess model.
