Summary

TLDRThe video discusses urban land use models, focusing on how settlements have developed over time. It highlights the Burgess model, which shows how settlements grow in circular patterns around a central business district (CBD). Using Luton as an example, the city center contains modern businesses, while moving outward reveals older industries, inner-city housing for workers, and more expensive suburban homes. The Hoyt model, a variation of the Burgess model, is also introduced, noting that industries often develop along major roads, such as the A5 in Luton.
