I thought Burgess was associated with the sector model, but now I'm second-guessing myself.

I feel like I might confuse Burgess with the multi-nuclei model. They both deal with urban structures, right?

I remember practicing a question about urban models, and Burgess definitely came up with the concentric zone theory.

Ah, I've got it! Burgess is associated with the concentric ring model of urban development. I'm pretty confident that's the right answer.

Ah, I remember learning about Burgess in class. I think it has to do with one of the urban geography models, but I can't quite recall which one.

Okay, let me see. I know Burgess had some theories about urban geography, so I'm going to try to remember what those were.

Central place, all the way. Burgess was the master of spatial organization, not some amateur sector-drawer.

B, definitely. Burgess and his circles, what a classic. Though I hear he was a fan of burgers too.

I think Burgess is actually associated with multi-nuclei because of the multiple centers of activity in a city.

Hmm, I'm going with Multi-nuclei. Burgess didn't just do the whole 'one big city center' thing, he was more complex than that.

Hmm, interesting. I thought it was concentric ring because of the way cities grow outward in rings.
