Who was Mr Burgess and what did he have to say about land use in cities?
Use the textbooks to answer the question. Include a diagram.

Land-use can be divided into 5 different zones
In some cities, the simple Burgess model like this works….
Outer Suburbs
Inner Suburbs
Inner City/ Twilight

Maps from memory:
• How is land used in Portsmouth?
• Try to draw a sketch of Portsmouth from memory showing the different zones.
What land uses can you identify?
Exam Questions
1. Why are there lots of tall buildings in the CBD? (2marks)
2. Why do businesses want to set up their offices in the CBD? (2marks)
3. Why do you think there are very few driveways in the area surrounding Priory? (1mark)
4. Why do you think driveways become more common as you move away from the city centre? (2marks)
5. If out-of-town shopping centres (like retail parks) increase, what problems might be caused? (3marks)
Homework• Go for a walk around Portsmouth (ooooh, exciting!)
• Take a series of photos to demonstrate different land use that you find
• Try to take photos that prove which urban zones you see, (e.g. a street of terraced housing for inner city)
• You can use your phone or a camera for photos. Then print out as a collage / poster / map with annotations.
• Due:
A4 poster
• Make notes / revision points / sketches to describe what the different land-use zones are like:
- CBD
- Industrial zone
- Inner City (Twilight Zone)
- Inner Suburbs
- Outer Suburbs New Key Geog p158-162,Geog.GCSE p178
Urban land use: Zone 1
• CBD = Central Business District
• The CBD is at the heart of a town or city and usually has great accessibility, large shopping and banking areas, and government buildings
Characteristics of a CBD
Old Core - often narrow streets / historical core (e.g. Old Portsmouth)
-Very Accessible - major rail and road routes (often find public transport stations meet here - e.g. railway stations / bus stations)Entertainment -
restaurants, clubs, etc
Historical buildings (e.g. museums, castles, etc.)
Government buildings (e.g. councils)
•Many have covered shopping centres (e.g. Cascades)
Traffic Restrictions e.g. pedestrian areas (like Commercial Rd)
Land has very high value - due to lack of space and competition for land
Many National Chain stores (attract larger numbers of customers + can afford the high land cost/rent - e.g. M&S; WHS; Topshop
Little/ No Residential because so expensive, maybe some flats above shops
• Banks, building societies, Estate Agents – where they can receive more customers
Zone 2: Inner City
What is the Inner City?The Inner City is the land-use zone around the city centre, it is also known as the twilight zone or zone of transition.
When did the Inner City grow up?Inner city areas grew up in the 19th century as towns increased rapidly due to the Industrial Revolution. This led to the growth of factories and low-cost terraced housing around what is now the city centre.
Characteristics of the Inner City
High density 19th Century housing and manufacturing. Housing is usually
linear, back to back and terraced This area tends to
be run down unless housing has been redeveloped
Land values are lower than those in the CBD. However, they still remain high. Houses are cheaper to buy / rent
Population density in the inner city is very high as houses have been squeezed in.
Crowded areas with little open space
Front doors open straight on to the pavementNo front or back gardens (just a small back yard)
factories providing employment for residents
Social Problems - high crime rates, above average concentrations of low-income citizens

Use the Venn Diagram to classify each land-use statement (1-20) into social, economic or cultural

1. & 2. Tall buildings are located in the ………….. because land prices are very …………………………… here and so it is much cheaper to build upwards. Many businesses choose to set up their offices in the CBD because this is generally the most ………………………… part of a city, meaning people can travel here to work easily. Most major shopping chains also choose to locate in the CBD for the same reasons. Also, if shops are in a more accessible area then this is likely to attract more …………………………, which brings in more ……………………...
3. & 4. Priory is surrounded by lots of …………………………… houses which tend not to have driveways. This is partly due to limited ……………………………. in this …………………………….. location. Additionally, inner city housing in Portsmouth, like that surrounding Priory, was originally built a long time ago to house ………………………………………………... At this time very few people owned ……………………….. and residents could walk to work. Therefore there was no need for houses to have driveways. As you move away from the inner city towards the ………………………. the number of driveways …………………………... This is because the suburbs grew in response to an increase in car ownership, meaning people could travel longer ………………………… to work and could therefore live further away. Hence, since the suburbs grew in response to increased car ownership, ………………… houses have driveways as you move ……………………………………… from the city centre.
5. An increase in the number of out-of-town shopping centres may lead to a ………………………. in the number of people travelling to the CBD, resulting in shops in the CBD …………………….. customers and therefore money. If shops are losing money they may reach a point where they can no longer afford to remain …………………, meaning that shops in the CBD may begin to close and therefore the CBD may become run-down and suffer ………………………………. – a process whereby a town or city falls into a state of disrepair, resulting in unemployment, abandonment of shops, etc.
