Multiple nuclei model
The Multiple nuclei model is a basic model in modern urban planning.[1] It was developed by Chauncy Harris and Edward Ullman in 1945.[2] It was the third model in the Chicago school (architecture).[1] The main idea was that when a city reached a certain size its downtown central business district (CBD) could no longer serve the whole city.[3] Shops and offices move to the outer parts of the city. They grow and attract other businesses. This causes the areas around them to grow into new business centers.[3]
