I keep mixing up the theorists; I thought Harris and Ullman were more about urban models, not the Growth Machine Theory.

I feel confident that the answer is Logan and Molotch. That theory really highlights how cities are shaped by the interests of growth-oriented coalitions, which I remember learning about in class.

Okay, let me think this through. The City as Growth Machine Theory looks at how local elites and businesses work together to promote urban growth, right? I think the theorists behind that are Logan and Molotch, but I'll double-check my notes to be sure.

Okay, I've got this. The key is to focus on the specific details in the question, like the use of a service configuration script and the changes from 18c. I think I can narrow this down.

D) Ernest Burgess - isn't he the guy who did the concentric zone model? I don't think that's the right answer here.

Home Hoyt? Really? I don't think that's even a real person. This exam is testing our obscure urban theory knowledge!

I was leaning towards B) Harris and Ullman, but now I'm second-guessing myself. Maybe I need to revisit that theory.
