In her essay “Arts of the Contact Zone‚” she proposes that classrooms should take up this style of educating. What would a contact zone in a classroom perform like? Out of all the elements that are capable of creating a contact zone‚ parody is one of the more familiar choices that would behave well in a classroom

The concentric zone model was among the early descriptions of urban form or Cities. Originated by Earnest Burgess in the 1920’s‚the concentric zone model depicts the use of Urban land as a set of concentric rings with each ring devoted to a different land use.
