Urban Land Use in LICs What are the differences between land use in HICs and LICs and why does this happen?

Urban land use models Many geographers have studied the growth of cities throughout the world and have noted common land use patterns within them. More specifically, within different cities we can identify distinctive areas dominated by one particular type of land use (e.g. shops, offices, industries or housing). When the layout of different cities is compared, we can also identify similarities in their land use patterns and these have been developed as urban land use models. We are going to look at one more model. All models are all based on the study of real cities but they are also very generalised and simplified.

Brazilian cities land use model

Modelling an LEDC city The LEDC land use model has some similarities to Burgess and or Hoyt. The CBD is found in the centre of the urban area, just like Burgess and Hoyt. Factories are also built along major transport routes like Hoyt. However, when it comes to housing, there are significant differences. The high quality housing tends to be located near the CBD and will be either apartments or old colonial houses. The richer people want to live near the centre because that is normally where the best entertainment is and the best jobs are. As well as the high quality apartments near the centre, richer neighbourhoods will also develop that have good quality housing and good entertainment. In Sao Paulo this includes Pinheiros and Jardins Slightly further out you get poor, but permanent housing. On the edge though where in Burgess and also Hoyt you found a lot of nice housing you find poor informal settlements built on marginal land. The informal housing has been built by migrants moving from rural areas to urban areas. Industry tends to be focused on the main transport routes (roads and railways). There will not be much high quality housing near industry because richer residents don't want to live near polluting factories. However, there will be more poorer housing and informal settlements because the people can't afford to live anywhere else and often work in the nearby factories.

Addressing urban housing problems in Brazil

1. Site and service scheme housing (“periferia”)

2. “Cingapura” housing

3. Decentralisation projects eg Barra de Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro
