SSC Geography QUESTION #6318
Question 1
The Burgess Concentric Zone Model of urban structure was primarily based on observations of which city and which process?
  • New York City and ethnic succession
  • Chicago and invasion-succession dynamics✔️
  • London and industrial zonation
  • Los Angeles and automobile-based sprawl

Burgess (1925) developed the concentric zone model based on Chicago's growth, applying ecological concepts of invasion-succession. Lower-income immigrants invaded inner zones, while established residents moved outward, creating concentric socio-economic zones.
