    The document describes the different zones that make up an urban area from the center to the outskirts. The Central Business District (CBD) is the high-density commercial center. Surrounding it is the Wholesale and Manufacturing zone, followed by zones for Low Class, Middle Class, and High Class Homes moving further out. Heavy Manufacturing is relocated to the periphery due to pollution. Over time, new CBDs emerge in suburban areas as land prices rise and businesses decentralize. Industrial activity is also shifted to suburban areas.
