Hello everybody, today we're going to be talking about Unit 7, Urbanization, and Cities.
00:00:00
In this video, we will cover the origin of cities, urban hierarchy, models for American city development,
00:00:06
and how cities and other continents differ from American cities.
00:00:12
Origin of Cities
00:00:15
Permanent settlements started to come around the Neolithic Revolution, or the first agricultural revolution,
00:00:16
since now they had a steady supply of food for them to eat.
00:00:22
This era was called the Formative Era, which was between 4000 BCE to 2000 BCE.
00:00:24
as villages started to become more prominent.
00:00:29
Around 3000 BCE, villages started to grow bigger
00:00:32
and more specific jobs started to come around
00:00:35
since not everyone had to work on the farm.
00:00:37
The very first cities started to appear in Asia and northern Africa.
00:00:39
In Africa, they appeared near the Nile River in Egypt.
00:00:42
Then they moved over to Mesopotamia along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
00:00:45
Cities also came around the Indus River in South Asia
00:00:49
and the Yellow and Yangtze rivers in early China.
00:00:52
The first cities in Europe started around the Aegean Sea.
00:00:55
Urban Hierarchy
00:00:57
For a city to come about, it needs to start off small and get larger.
00:00:58
A hamlet is the first step to becoming urbanized.
00:01:01
Hamlets only include a few dozen people and don't offer a lot of services.
00:01:04
They are clustered around a center, which is usually just a gas station or a general store.
00:01:07
The next step is to become a village.
00:01:11
Villages are larger than hamlets and offer more services.
00:01:13
Instead of just a general store, villages can offer stores that are based in a couple of things, like food or clothing.
00:01:16
They also gather more people so that the town grows bigger and the center becomes larger as well.
00:01:22
Next up is becoming a town.
00:01:26
Towns can consist of 50 people up to a few thousand people.
00:01:28
They have an urban area with a defined boundary,
00:01:31
but are still smaller than cities based on the size of the town and its population.
00:01:34
After towns, the next step is to become a city.
00:01:38
Cities are larger and more densely populated, which can include tens of thousands of people.
00:01:41
A lot more services have come around and suburbs start developing
00:01:45
because people want to stay close to work, but live in a safer environment.
00:01:47
After cities, megalopolises form.
00:01:51
Megalopolises have large populations and incorporate large areas.
00:01:53
They are usually focused around one large city.
00:01:57
The central city and the suburbs bordered each other, with the suburbs being dependent on the city.
00:02:00
Models for City Development
00:02:05
For the models, there are three major models in how cities are shaped.
00:02:06
They are the concentric zone model, the sector model, and the multinuclear model for American cities.
00:02:09
The central place theory explains how a city works with goods and services.
00:02:14
The concentric zone model was made in 1923 by E.W. Burgess.
00:02:18
It says that a city develops in a series of rings that can vary in size and expand away from the city.
00:02:22
The inner ring, or ring one, is the CBD or central business district, which contains the commercial and business services and is often called the downtown section of a city.
00:02:26
The next ring is called the zone of transition, which contains industry and poor quality housing.
00:02:35
Immigrants and single individuals tend to live in the area, frequently created by subdividing larger houses into apartments.
00:02:39
Most people in the area rent instead of owning it themselves.
00:02:45
The zone that is in the middle is called the zone of working class,
00:02:48
which is composed of modest older houses occupied by working class families
00:02:51
in which a large percentage of the families rent, but some own their own houses.
00:02:55
The zone of better residences is zone 4 and contains the newer, more spacious housing.
00:02:59
This zone is inhibited by the middle class and the houses are mostly owned, not rented.
00:03:03
The last zone is called the commuter zone, which is located the farthest away from the city.
00:03:07
This area is mostly upper class residents with very few middle class residents.
00:03:12
The sector model was made in 1939 by Harmer Hoy.
00:03:15
It states that a city develops some sections surrounding the CBD
00:03:18
and that different areas attract different activities by chance or by environmental factors.
00:03:21
This model has five sections.
00:03:25
The CBD, industry-slash-transportation, low-class residential, middle-class residential, and high-class residential.
00:03:27
In the industry section, it is mostly factories and the main public transportation routes that go through the CBD.
00:03:33
The low-class residential is next to the transportation and industry section and contains low-income housing.
00:03:37
They live there to reduce transportation costs to help them get closer to their work.
00:03:43
The middle-class residential section surrounds the other sectors,
00:03:47
but is further away from the transportation zone, making it more desirable.
00:03:50
It is the largest residential area and still has access to transportation lines
00:03:54
for working people that work in the CBD.
00:03:57
The high-class residential is the outermost edge and furthest away from the industry zone.
00:04:00
It contains the best housing and has the least traffic.
00:04:04
The multinuclear model was made in 1945 by Chauncey Harris and Edward Ullman.
00:04:06
They said that the CBD was losing its importance in relation to the rest of the city and should be seen as a nucleus rather than the focal point.
00:04:10
The different zones developed into independent areas based off of their activities, and each were near zones that they were compatible with.
00:04:17
The zones included the CBD, which is at the center, light manufacturing, which is to the left side of the CBD and creates the easy products,
00:04:23
the low-class residential, which is above the light manufacturing and the CBD, as well as below it,
00:04:30
The Middle Class Residential, which is located to the right of the CBD.
00:04:34
The Upper Class Residential, which is located to the right of the Middle Class Zone.
00:04:37
The Heavy Manufacturing, which is located at the bottom of the Lower Class Residential and takes care of the heavier products that cause more pollution.
00:04:41
The Outlying Business District, which is located between the Middle Class Residential and the Upper Class Residential and is usually a mall.
00:04:48
The Residential Suburb, which is located below the Upper Class Residential and contains Upper Middle Class.
00:04:55
and the industrial suburb, which is located near the heavy manufacturing zone
00:05:00
and contains the lower-class people that work in the factories.
00:05:04
The central place theory is a model created by Walter Castelli in 1933.
00:05:07
The model is in the shape of a hexagon to make sure that no space is left untouched.
00:05:11
The central place in the middle is the source of service.
00:05:14
The threshold is the number of people needed to support the service,
00:05:17
which is the space around the central place.
00:05:20
The range is how far a service can stretch out to,
00:05:22
and the market area slash hinterland is the boundary line for the service.
00:05:25
Castelli came to two conclusions based upon the model.
00:05:28
One is that towns of the same size are evenly spaced because they are in the center of congruent market areas
00:05:31
and the towns are part of an interdependent system,
00:05:36
so if a central place is eliminated, then the entire system readjusts to fill up the hole.
00:05:39
Cities and other continents.
00:05:43
European cities are older than American cities and thus have different structures in them.
00:05:45
The cities are more compact and shorter with skyscrapers placed on the outside of town
00:05:48
because they have a philosophy that says what is old should be preserved.
00:05:52
They are also arranged in the opposite ways of an American city,
00:05:55
because the wealthy live in the central city and the lower classes live in the suburbs.
00:05:58
European cities also have zoning laws that determine where buildings can be put and how the land can be used.
00:06:02
The zoning laws are split up into four different types, residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional, but the zones can be mixed.
00:06:07
Asian cities are mostly located on the coast, which help with the trading that the countries do.
00:06:13
Many of the cities also have specific zones, but they are for Western companies to locate within their borders, providing thousands of jobs.
00:06:17
The cities are modernized since they are relatively new and have multiple skyscrapers in the city.
00:06:23
Office parks are popping up everywhere, which are agglomerations with shared phone and internet services,
00:06:29
and they share the same transportation infrastructure.
00:06:33
Asian cities actually don't have a formalized CBD, making growth occur throughout the city,
00:06:36
but they grow according to the zoning laws and their economies.
00:06:41
Latin American cities are experiencing one of the world's fastest urban growth rate,
00:06:45
but still prefer to integrate their native past into their architecture.
00:06:48
They are growing so fast due to the fact that so many people are coming in from the countryside and building slums to live in the city.
00:06:51
The cities are actually laid out like a hub and spoke of a bicycle wheel, with the CBD in the center,
00:06:57
the high residential area extending outwards, the middle class residential filling up a small space, and the slums on the edge of the cities.
00:07:01
African cities are the fastest growing urban areas in the world today, with most of the people coming in from the poor countryside to look for work.
00:07:09
Cities in northern Africa that are Muslim-dominated have a high growth rate,
00:07:16
but the most of the growth occurs in sub-Saharan Africa.
00:07:19
African cities have three distinct CBDs,
00:07:22
with the headquarters of the government found in the colonial CBD,
00:07:24
a market or bazaar to be the consumer section of the city,
00:07:27
and the traditional CBD, which holds many of the financial institutions
00:07:30
and the commercial center for the city.
00:07:33
African cities have the three CBDs with ethnic neighborhoods extending outwards from them,
00:07:35
and beyond them are the mining and manufacturing zones as well as the squatter settlements.
00:07:39
African cities lack the transportation systems that other cities have because of the lack of infrastructure or not enough money.
00:07:44
They are also affected by the high rates of HIV and large numbers of orphaned and homeless children.
00:07:50
That's the end, and thanks for watching.
