Document Summary
Ryerson: most accessible, high volume in the core of downtown but limited spatially (visible) but compensates through sharing urban space. York: not as accessible but extensive spatially (not visible) Accessibility of land (1) > land value (cost) (2) > land use (3) a/b/c. Logic of bid-rent/trade off models: sites (land) vary in accessibility in d-town most accessible, vary in accessible vary in cost, bid rent. Note: industrial lands should be inner but on the outside. Distribution of land use according to the bid rent model (left) (optimal space being downtown) What kind of models are they: economic model of land use but many other factors influence like pol"t, heritage, cultural. Models are based on assumptions: contrast a typical suburban mall with the eaton centre downtown. Apparent contradiction in model: poor has the best land: high/middle income can afford to commute. Low income in the city but have high density (small apartments: social harmony: self associate.
