Question

please select the word from the list that best fits the definition
model that describes a typical city as spreading outward from the center, resulting in a series of circles, or zones
sector model
concentric zone model
multiple nuclei model
urban sprawl

Explanation:

The concentric zone model, developed by Ernest Burgess, depicts a city as expanding outward from the center in a series of concentric circles or zones. Each zone has distinct land - use characteristics. The sector model focuses on sectors (like wedges) radiating from the center, influenced by transportation corridors. The multiple nuclei model suggests that a city has multiple centers (nuclei) of development. Urban sprawl refers to the unplanned, low - density expansion of urban areas, not a model with concentric circles.

Answer:

Concentric zone model
