    This document discusses land use in towns and cities. It introduces the concept of an "urban model" to simply show how settlements grow and how land is used in different areas, including the central business district used for large shops and offices, old industrial areas formerly used for factories, working class housing consisting mostly of terraced houses and flats with corner shops, middle class housing comprising new houses and estates with shopping centers and parks, commuter zones on the city edge, and high class housing featuring private, high quality homes with large gardens and garages.
