Patterns
of land
use in
towns
and
cities
Think of all the things you would
find in a Town or a City. Turn over
your work sheet and write down as
many things as you can !
Although all towns and
cities are different, most
have grown and developed
in the same way.
Believe it or not there is a
PATTERN to it all !
We can show this pattern by using a
MODEL – a simplified picture.
This is an URBAN
MODEL to show the
different land use
within a town or city.
Each different colour sector represents a
different type of land use.
Have a go at completing the
passage on the worksheet.

On your worksheet you have a
copy of the Urban Model
which looks like this …..
… but the key has not
been coloured in to show
the different types of
land use.
As we go through the slides you will find out what the
main type of land use is in each sector.
Using a PENCIL shade in the key so that it matches up
with your copy of the model.
Use the rest of the space in the table to note down some of
the things you might find in each of these areas
Press on a sector to find out more
information or press the arrow to
finish.
THE CBD
The Central Business District
•Large Shops
•Offices
•Restaurants
•Cafes
•Cinemas
•Theatres
•Museums
This is usually the original site
of the settlement.
It is centrally located because
the rest of the settlement has
grown around it.
INNER CITY
19th Century Housing
•Terraced houses for the factory workers.
• Some now replaced by high-rise flats.
•Small Corner shops
Located just outside the CBD
Houses built near to the factories
so that the workers could get to
work easily.
INNER SUBURBS
Housing 1920 - 1950
•Larger houses usually with gardens
•Some Parks
•Some rows of shops
Newer houses built for the growing population.
The land is cheaper the further
away from the CBD you go, so
houses were built with gardens.
OUTER SUBURBS
Modern Housing
•New houses and housing estates
•New shopping centres
•Parks and other open areas
The land around the edge of a settlement is
much cheaper and there is enough space to
build large housing estates.
New Industrial Area
Industrial estates and
business parks built since
1970, close to main roads
They are located close to main
roads so that there is easy access
for goods and employees
Old Industrial Areas
•Along a river, canal or railway
•Many old factories now closed
•Area may look run down
They are located near to rivers,
canals and railways because they
needed to transport goods in and
out of the city.
Look out for different land use as
you travel around STOCKPORT
or MANCHESTER.
See if you can spot the pattern !
