Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The concentric zone theory, developed by sociologist Ernest Burgess, posits that a city grows outward from a central point in a series of rings. The innermost ring, known as the central business district (CBD), is characterized by high-density commercial and industrial land uses. As one moves outward from the CBD, the land uses become less intense and more diverse, with residential neighborhoods usually occupying the outermost ring.
