A model was devised to explain a city with a single downtown and residential zones arranged in rings as distance from the center increases. Which author-model pair fits?
An author used housing-rent data to argue that urban land uses expand in wedges along transportation corridors. Which author-model pair fits?
A theory says cities develop several specialized centers because some activities attract each other and others repel each other. Which author-model pair fits?
A model explains postwar metropolitan growth in edge nodes tied together by expressways and a beltway rather than by the old center alone. Which pair fits?
Homer Hoyt developed the sector model partly to fix a weakness in Burgess's concentric zone model. What weakness did the sector model address?
A model assumes that land value and access fall off evenly with distance from the CBD in every direction, with no corridors or separate centers. Which model rests on that assumption?
The arrangement has a CBD, an outlying business district, industrial suburbs, and residential suburbs as separate foci. Which model accounts for it?

A metro area has separate clusters around a university, airport, medical center, and downtown, each shaping nearby land use. Which model best fits?
The galactic city model describes metro areas that spread out after World War II. Which change did the most to make that pattern possible?
What is a major limitation of the concentric zone, sector, and multiple nuclei models for describing cities today?
Ernest Burgess built the concentric zone model in the 1920s by studying one U.S. city. Which city was it?
