Question 3 • CSD Summer 2026 Human Geography

Wealthy residents of cities are more likely to have access to good transportation. According to the Burgess model for city growth, where would wealthy residents choose to live?

Answer
A
in the central business district
B
in the region closest to the central business district
C
halfway between the central business district and the edge of the city
D
on the edge of the city

Explanation

In the Burgess model, wealthy residents can use good transportation to travel farther from the city center. They therefore tend to live in the outer zone, away from the crowded central business district and its nearby industrial and lower-income areas. The best answer is living on the edge of the city.
