Question

The urban land use model based on the concept of a polycentric city is known as

• A. Burgess Model.
• B. Harris and Ullman model.
• C. Hagerstrand's Model.
• D. Homer Hoyt's model.

Hint:

For understanding polycentric cities, remember that multiple nuclei (Harris and Ullman) model best represents this structure.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The polycentric city model, which involves multiple centers or nodes rather than one central business district (CBD), is represented by the Harris and Ullman model.

Step 1: Model Overview.
Harris and Ullman's model (also called the Multiple Nuclei Model) suggests that a city is made up of several centers or nuclei (such as industrial, commercial, residential) rather than a single CBD.

Step 2: Other models.
- The Burgess Model (Concentric Zone Model) focuses on a single CBD and concentric rings.
- The Homer Hoyt Model (Sector Model) describes sectors of land use extending from the CBD.
- The Hagerstrand's Model focuses on the time-space patterns of human activity, not land use.
Thus, the correct answer is Harris and Ullman model.

Final Answer: (B)
