Urban leftovers

This overview examines urban land value dynamics based on Bid-Rent Theory, which asserts that only commercial landlords afford land in Central Business Districts (CBDs), causing land value to decrease as one moves outward. The inner cities often feature smaller residential lots due to high land prices, while suburbs offer larger lots. Additionally, it explores unique characteristics of cities in Latin America, Asia, and Islamic contexts, highlighting urban growth, squatter settlements, and the influence of cultural and religious features on city layouts.

  1. Urban leftovers

  2. Bid-Rent Theory • Suggest that only commercial landlords can afford the land within the CBD • As a person moves further away from the CBD the land value decreases • Suburbs have more land per residence on average, because land is cheaper • Homes in the inner city usually have smaller lots because land is more expensive • Residential properties in the CBD are usually apartment buildings

  3. Latin American Cities • Often integrate their native past into their design • The world’s 2nd largest city, Mexico City, exemplifies the characteristics of Latin American cities • This area is experiencing one of the world’s fastest urban growth rates • Squatter settlements

  4. Latin American City Model

  5. Developed by Dr. Larry Ford • In Brazil the squatter settlements are called favelas • In other Latin American cities they are called barriadas Zone of situ accession- where less expensive homes and businesses seem to be in a chronic state of ongoing construction and renovation

  6. Asian Cities • Many Asian cities are some of the most prosperous cities b/c of their economic development over the past four decades • Most are located on the coast and have been built for trade, with ports playing the major economic role

  7. Investment capital from developed countries has promoted growth • Many of these cities have specific zones that have been established for Western companies to locate within their borders

  8. Southeast Asian City Model • Developed by Terry McGee • Shows the importance of the port zone & growth extends outwards from the port • Entrepots- rexport goods, sending them to all areas of the globe

  9. Office parks- agglomerations with shared phone and internet services and transportation infrastructure

  10. Asian cities have no formalized CBD • Growth occurs throughout because of few zoning laws • This results in an incredible amount of megacities

  11. Islamic Cities • Religion is what separates Islamic cities from other cities • Much of the layout is based on principles found in the Koran • The most important feature in an Islamic city is the mosque • The primary mosque is called the jani • Structures are built to protect the purity of women (windows small, doors and windows do not face each other)

  12. African City Model • Three CBDs with ethnic neighborhoods extending outwards from them • Beyond the ethnic neighborhoods are the mining and manufacturing zones as well as the squatter settlements • Developed by….your favorite geographer……
