In which urban model are wedge-shaped sectors along transportation corridors predicted rather than neat rings?

• A. Von Thünen Isolated State Model.
• B. Burgess Concentric Zone Model.
• C. Hoyt Sector Model.
• D. McGee Southeast Asian City Model.

Answer: (C)

Transport networks shape where development concentrates by guiding growth along corridors, so the city expands in wedge-like sectors radiating from the center rather than forming neat circular rings. The Hoyt Sector Model captures this pattern, showing sectors along transportation routes such as roads and rail lines where housing, commerce, and industry cluster to maximize accessibility. In contrast, the Burgess model envisions rings around the core, the Von Thünen model describes rural agricultural rings around a market town, and the McGee model portrays Southeast Asian cities with multiple centers and complex port-city dynamics. Therefore, wedge-shaped sectors along corridors align with the Hoyt Sector Model.
