The Burgess and Hoyt Model

There are two models that describe the urban design of settlements, the Burgess Model and the Hoyt Model. The Burgess Model is the generic model designed in Chicago in 1925 and has concentric rings but no longer paints an accurate picture of most places. The Hoyt Model was adapted from the Burgess Model in 1939 and doesn't just have concentric circles but also wedges.
