  1. Hoyt – The sector Model

  2. What is the Hoyt sector model? • Hoyt proposed the idea that towns grew as sectors or wedges. • Industry grew up in one part of a 19th century town, future industries would then develop in that sector. • As the town grew, so would the area of industry and therefore would grow out in a wedge shape.

  3. Hoyt – His idea.

  4. A –The Central Business District (CBD) • This area contains shops, offices, banks, etc. • Land is expensive, and this area has high rents and multi story buildings as a consequence. • There is very little space and competition is high. • Congestion levels are high. • Vegetated areas are sparse.

  5. B1- Zone of Transition (“Twilight zone”) • This contains old industries that have been positioned in this zone for many years. • Over the past 20 years, this industry has been non-profitable and has closed. • This has led to high-unemployment. • This area should be re-developed into modern business districts.

  6. B2- Low class residential housing • This group is made up of old 19th century buildings. With no gardens. • Often referred to as ‘slums’. These were the buildings that were knocked down in the 1960’s to be replaced with high rise flats. • The poorest people in the settlement live here, but is now highly admired and the place to live now.

  7. C- Council Estates • Semi-detached housing is found here with no gardens. • These houses are built on large estates. • Less expensive private estates can also be found here. • Often described as ‘medium class residential’ or ‘inter-war’ areas.

  8. D- Commuter zone • This is a high class residential area where private, quality housing can be found. • Detached and semi-detached housing can be built on cheaper land. • Often lots of garages, big gardens, and many out buildings can be found here. • Most people commute to work from this zone as it is furthest away from the centre.

  9. E- Countryside Areas • In the countryside surrounding the urban area, those seeking to escape from the urban area can live in pleasant surroundings. • However, they are still close to work. • Many satellite villages and towns surround major urban areas allowing people to live further away from the main settlement.
