Answer to Question 1

Answer: The sector model was developed by economist Homer Hoyt in 1939. According to this model, the city develops in a series of sectors. As a city grows, activities expand outward in a wedge, or sector, from the center. Hoyt mapped the highest-rent areas for a number of U.S. cities at different times and showed that the highest social-class district usually remained in the same sector, although it moved farther out along that sector over time.

Once a district with high-class housing is established, the most expensive new housing is built on the outer edge of that district, farther out from the center. The best housing is therefore found in a corridor extending from downtown to the outer edge of the city. Industrial and retailing activities develop in other sectors, usually along good transportation lines.
