Applying the models outside North America
European cities In past, social segregation was vertical Poor in basements/attics Today (focus on Paris as example): Wealthy live in inner city (different than US) follow sector radiating from center (following historically wealth areas / sometimes new developments) downtown preserved for tourism, historic reasons less likely to have skyscrapers / taller and newer buildings to the side retain character (narrow lanes, Beaux Arts buildings, etc.) Some boulevards built in the 1800s Retain these areas as walkable / close off to cars

Applying the models outside North America
European cities In past, social segregation was vertical Poor in basements/attics Today (focus on Paris as example): Wealthy live in inner city (different than US) follow sector radiating from center (like Hoyt model) downtown preserved for tourism, historic reasons retain character (narrow lanes, Beaux Arts buildings, etc.) Some boulevards built in the 1800s Poor, minorities, largely former colonials, high % Muslim but not all clustered on outskirts (high-rise apts. = “projects”) so they don’t “scare” tourists leads to “ghettoization”

Griffin-Ford Latin American Cities
wealthy push from center in an elite residential sector “spine” develops to service needs of wealthy Often along boulevard Griffin-Ford Latin American Cities

Griffin-Ford Latin American Cities
wealthy push from center in an elite residential sector “spine” develops to service needs of wealthy Often along boulevard Zone of maturity Middle-class, well-kept Zone of in situ accretion Lower working class Moving up or down Squatter settlements Outside highway ring perifico ciudades perdades, favelas “disamenity” Sewer system Steep hillsides = Rio Griffin-Ford Latin American Cities

Islamic cities walled, courtyards, why? climate bazaars
(purdah) climate lightly colored to reflect heat, recapture/recycle water bazaars mosques, minarets concentric hierarchy of services

Other non-Western urban models
SE Asian Model McGee (1967) Port is focus Periphery, Semi-periphery serving core CBD split into separate clusters Govt. zone Western commercial zone Alien commercial zone global migration flow # dominated by Chinese Larger middle-class on outskirts

Other non-Western urban models
Sub-Saharan Africa Fastest growing cities Difficult to model 3 CBDs Old colonial Vertical development

Other non-Western urban models
Sub-Saharan Africa Fastest growing cities Difficult to model 3 CBDs Old colonial Vertical development Traditional Curbside single story informal/periodic Open air Encircled by ethnic or mixed neighborhoods, Why? Most African states are multiethnic legacy of superimposed borders Mining and manufacturing sector Squatter settlements rapid urbanization similar to Latin American model
