Theories of Urban Land Use - multiple nuclei model and peripheral model

1. BS 187: URBANIZATION AND HUMAN BEHAVIOR
Multiple Nuclei Model
Bautista, Shannen - Benedicto, Leianna Kaye - Dulay, Thom Riel - Leelin, Jordan
Marie - Quilo, Kimpee

2. Notions that people have greater movement due to
increased car ownership
Increase of movement → specialization of regional
centers
land value and population density decline with
distance from the central places
Distance Decay Theory
Multiple Nuclei Model
Chauncy Harris & Edward Ullman (1945)
BS187 | 2021

3. Each nucleus acts as a growth point
growth occurs outwards, starting from each nucleus
until they all merge into one large urban area.
Development of multiple nuclei lead to certain types of
transportation.
Transportation hubs have negative effects, such as
noise pollution & lower land values
Land use patterns in most large cities develop around a
number of its discrete centers (or nuclei), rather than a
singular center as described in concentric or sector models.
Effects on the industry:

Multiple Nuclei Model

4. Low class
Nearer to manufacturing jobs
Non-minimal skilled jobs
Low wages
Medium class
Close to Central Business District (CBD)
More space to support them
Skilled-labor jobs
High class
Outskirts of medium class residential
area
Touching outlying business district;
High paying skilled labor

11. Metro Manila
Most densely populated area in the PH
Designated as a global power city
An important center and hub for Asia.
Multiple Nuclei Model
Gives insight into the growth of cities in the
developing world
Human mobility usually involves: “trips to
workplace or school” as commuting
activities, and “trips for private affairs,
medical, social, eating, shopping, and
accompanying other household
members” as consuming activities.

14. BS 187: URBANIZATION AND HUMAN BEHAVIOR
Peripheral Model
Banez, Jamie - Cruz, Brent Justine - Estacio, Jaira Philomena - Juan, Karen Joy -
Pagcaliwagan, Angelika

15. BS187 | 2021
created the model on 1960s
based on the city of Detroit, Michigan
tried to address the changes in the economy
Peripheral Model
Chauncy Harris (1997)

16. Peripheral Model
Basically, both are almost exactly the same
If you took the beltway and add it to multiple
nuclei model = peripheral model
Central Business District → Central City
A continuous buildup of urban spaces
Revision of the Multiple Nuclei Model
BS187 | 2021

18. BS187 | 2021
Inner city with large suburban
residential and business areas
surrounding it
Peripheral Model
is made up of...
Edge cities which expand
outwards into suburban
areas
economic activities are now further from the epicenter
focused on post-industrialization activities
galactic model
black hole = inner cities
spirals = suburban areas
also called...

19. Peripheral Model
is a road that runs around the city (urban space)
larger = allows more rapid movements
areas are tied together by transportation nodes
to avoid traffic congestion
incorporates a beltway
Individuals need to have their own independent
modes of transportation so that they can spread
out and come into contact with different spaces
Based on
independent transportation
BS187 | 2021

20. Peripheral Model
All commercial and
economic activity and all
the power centers of the
city do not only lie in the
center of the city
decentralization
of cities
Applications to Urbanization
where both offices and
shopping malls are located
combined
employment and
shopping centers
all our activities are
segregated into different
spaces, causing:
sprawl concept
traffic
taking up cultural
lands
destruction of
natural habitat

26. high rise buildings in the city center
low rise homes, residential areas and industrial,
recreational and shopping districts surround the center of
the city
car-based living and is highly urbanized
BGC as the CBD
C-6 (and other highways/roads) as the beltway connecting
other areas
Edge cities - area on the outskirts of a city having a high
density of office buildings, shopping malls, hotels, etc
e.g. Makati, Pasay, Pasig, Mandaluyong
