4. The city may be graphically depicted in terms of a series of
concentric circles, representing the different zones or typical areas of
settlement. At the center we find the business district, where land
values are high. Surrounding this there is an area of deterioration,
where the slums tend to locate themselves. Then follows an area of
workmen’s homes, followed in turn by the middle-class apartment section,
and finally by the upper-class residential area. Land values, general
appearance, and function divide these areas off from each other. These
differences in structure and use get themselves incorporated in law in
the form of zoning ordinances. This is an attempt, in the face of the
growth of the city, to control the ecological forces that are at work.
