Relation Between Housing Quality And Distance From CBD
Relation between Housing Quality and Distance from CBD
The housing quality of the First World increases against the distance from the central business district (CBD), while the Third World is just the opposite.
In the concentric-zone model (1942), Chicago was divided into five 5 zones, with the zone of working men’s home in the inner city and residential zone with better, private housing in the outer suburbs (as cited in Pacione, 2009, p.141). Even the model itself is dated, the illustration that the housing in the suburbs is better than those in the inner city still applies to most developed countries, like the one shown in Kearsley’s modified Burgess model (1983). The urban core is always the first place to be developed. Since urbanization …show more content…
The First World has experienced it centuries ago, while it is now a prevalent phenomenon in most developing countries. The segregation in the society, the slum area, the urban core, the rural-and-urban differences and the relation between housing quality and distance from CBD are five main characteristics of urbanization process, in which there are similarities and differences. First, social segregation is a product of urbanization, existing in both Worlds. The societies in the First World are segregated by the individuals’ income level and the free market, while that in the Third World is established by the race. Second, the Slums in two Worlds, although differ in terms of the scale and condition, are derived from the same circumstance — the problem of meagre supply of housing in the market. Third, the focus of the urban core in the First World is the Western-styled central business district, while the one in the Third World is characterized by the dual economy (i.e. the Western-styled central business district and the traditional market). Fourth, desakotas are present in the Third World to blur the rural-urban boundary but the rural-urban discrepancies regarding the level of development are still considerable, and vice versa in the First World. Last, the housing quality of the First World increases against the distance from the central business district (CBD), while the Third World is just the
