Urban Ecological Models of the internal structure of North American Cities APHG Keller 2011

Earliest ideas for models Ecology developed in biology Shift from thinking about individual species to plant and animal communities Plant species compete for water and energy Communities evolve in response to competition

Fundamental concepts Communities evolve to climax. The Community of plants and animals that is best suited to the water and energy balance of locales. When disturbed an environment experiences the process of invasion and succession as the landscape evolves once again toward a climax.

Concepts from biology brought into new Social Science Harlan Barrows Geographer at U of Chicago uses term Human Ecology Park and Burgess found school of Urban Ecology in Sociology Department of University of Chicago Both scholars had been journalists and were careful observers of cities Wanted to go beyond previous writing on cities

The Growth of the City: An Introduction to a Research Project by Earnest Burgess U of Chicago Press 1926 Robert Park and Earnest Burgess work together. Park provides a frame in the introduction Burgess provides the analysis

The problem One of the most important and striking developments in the growth of the urban population of the more advanced peoples of the world during the last few decades has been the appearance of a number of vast urban aggregates or conurbations, far large and more numerous that the great cities of any preceding Age

Observation “In the United States the transition from a rural to an urban civilization though beginning later that in Europe, has taken place, if not more rapidly and completely at any rate more logically in its most characteristic form”

Opportunity Cities merge as a result of expansion Process can be seen in New York and Chicago where growth crosses county and state boundaries No study of urban expansion as a process had been completed

The basic conclusion “the typical processes of the expansion of the city can best be illustrated, perhaps, by a series of concentric circles which may be numbered to designate both the successive zones of urban extension and the types of areas differentiated in the process of expansion” It is a model of urban growth

“An ideal construction of the tendencies of any town or city is to expand Radially from its central Business district” “It hardly needs to be added that neither Chicago nor any cities perfectly fit into this ideal scheme”

The Zones 1. The “Loop” Center of Economic, cultural and political life Main Stem of hobohemia

Zone 2 The Zone of Transition Encircling the downtown area, there is normally an area of transition, which is being invaded by businesses and light manufacturing first drawing has factory zone. Slum and badlands of city Zone of poverty degradation and disease Underworld immigrants

Zone 3 Zone of Workingmen’s homes Inhabited by the workers in industries who have escaped from areas of deterioration but who want to have easy access to their work

Zone 4 Residential area Beyond zone of workingmen’s homes High class apartment buildings Exclusive districts of single family homes

Zone 5 Still farther, out beyond the city limits is the commuter’s zone – suburban areas or satellite cities – within a thirty to sixty minute ride of the central business district

Factors influencing patterns Physical landscape Transportation routes Historical factors of the location of industry Relative degree of the resistance of communities to invasion.

Critical ideas The main fact of expansion is the tendency of each inner zone to extend its area by the invasion of the next outer zone The concept of land use competition for accessibility and amenity Invasion and succession goes in one direction only

A model of Segregation “This differentiation into natural economic and cultural groupings gives form and character to the city Segregated areas tend to accentuate certain traits, to attract and develop their kind of individuals and to become further differentiated

Conditions which initiate invasion Changes in forms and routes of transportation Obsolete – deterioration or change in function New type of industry Real estate promotion Erection of buildings that may repel or attract Bridges, schools

Stages of Invasion Initial resistance or inducement Secondary or developmental land values increase and building values decline climax

Importance of model’s acceptance Middle class neighborhoods must be protected from the invasion process Real estate agents must not do anything to destroy neighborhoods Zoning laws developed to protect neighborhoods from invasion by commercial or high density residential uses

Importance of model’s acceptance Gave scientific underpinning to ethnocentricism and racial discrimination Promoted homogeneous residential communities

Importance of model’s acceptance Used by real estate industry to turn over middle class neighborhoods via block busting tactics Justified redlining by financial and insurance industry - do not invest in poor or minority areas because they will continually deteriorate due to invasion and succession Increased the importance of distance (NIMBY)

Importance of model’s acceptance This model is the base for all other models of the internal spatial structure of cities Later models of US cities Model of Latin American City Models of Southeast Asian Models of African Cities Models of South Asian Cities Soviet model was developed in opposition to it.

Homer Hoyt Student of Park and Burgess One Hundred Years of Land Values in Chicago Makes two major changes to the thinking of the Burgess model High income wedge pulls the city Low income can invade high income Change surface to network The STREET CAR MODEL

Critical change ONE Growth at edges pulls city Real estate developers control the expanding city Manipulate building designs Develop amenities Promote exclusivity Encourage the development of large lot communities Promote the status of place

Critical changes Calls for low income suburbs Acknowledges the across the tracks syndrome Predicts the movement of high status shops toward the high income residential areas Calls for a zone of expansion and abandonment in the Central Business District

Basic idea not different Land use competition for locational advantage Invasion and succession from high density to low Natural process of expansion

Auto Era Model – Multiple Nuclei

Critical difference Allows for more forms of transportation – particularly the automobile Allows for more variation in landscape Allows for industrial suburbs

Critical flaws in these models The assumption of free competition of land use is unwarranted because as soon as Burgess model was made public its concept of invasion and succession was not tested but rather became the base for zoning regulations. Therefore it became a self-fulfilling prophecy

Critical flaws in these models Its assumption that invasion and succession was one directional – from rich and low density to poor and high density was proven false by gentrification.

Critical flaws in these models White flight created space for African Americans to occupy. Not really an invasion but a retreat caused by a belief in the assertion of the model

Generalizations for having students learn about these models Do not Concentrate on geometry of the diagrams rather than their application. Show how Models can provide preliminary understandings or generalizations Role of distance decay High income sector and other groupings Segregation Role of amenities and disamenties Role of transportation Role of various actors –planners, organizers, real estate professionals, bankers etc.
