Key Claims
Homer Hoyt analyzed empirical rental data across 140 American cities, refining Burgess’s concentric model. He showed that distinct socio-economic residential and industrial groups expand along directional transport arteries in directional sectors rather than uniform concentric rings, with high-rent residential sectors moving progressively along pleasant scenic corridors and industrial zones clinging to railways.
