Concentric
Circles and
Sector Model
Mann’s Model • A British Urban Land Use Model.
• A combination of the ideas of Burgess and Hoyt with
both concentric rings and sectors.
• Based on Sheffield, Nottingham and Huddersfield.
• The role of the prevailing wind is important.
Mann’s Model –
Limitations and Advantages • Once again there is no reference to the physical landscape.
• No acknowledgement of the multiple centres in Harris and Ullman’s model.
• Does not forsee the advent of reurbanisation that is happening today with the regeneration of decaying old industrial centres.
BUT
• Takes in the role of council estates in the suburbs.
• Notes the influence of environmental factors.
• Makes a model more specific to the UK .
