Identify the similarities between the human settlement models of Ernest Burgess and Homer Hoyt. Give your response in the form of a short paragraph.

Answer:

Ernest Burgess’s and Homer Hoyt’s models both place the central business district at the center of the city and show urban land uses expanding outward in organized patterns. Both models also associate different residential areas with different socioeconomic groups. Hoyt’s model builds on Burgess’s model by showing that growth often extends outward in sectors along transportation routes rather than forming perfect circles.
