    The document discusses several urban models: the concentric zone theory developed by E.W. Burgess includes a transition zone for CBD expansion; the sector model by Homer Hoyt developed with the premise that uses grow with the CBD in the direction of higher income; the multiple nuclei model by Chauncy Harris and Edward Pullman recognizes uses evolve around several nodes rather than a single core; and the urban realms model by James Vance presents the emergence of independent, self-sufficient sectors brought about by the automobile.
