Who used the concept of "Outlying Business District" in Urban Landuse Theory ?

  • A.E. Burges
  • B.Harris and Ullman
  • C.Homer Hoyt
  • D.E. Burges and Homer Hoyt

Answer: B

The concept was used by Harris and Ullman.

In their multiple nuclei model (1945), Chauncy Harris and Edward Ullman argued that a city grows around several centres rather than one. Besides the central business district, they identified other nuclei, including an outlying business district, a secondary shopping centre in the suburbs, together with heavy industry and residential suburbs.

Burgess's concentric zone model (1925) and Hoyt's sector model (1939) are both built around a single CBD and have no outlying business district.
