3. Land Use
Land use is based on the functional dimension of land for
different human purposes or economic activities. Typical
categories for land use are dwellings, industrial use, transport,
recreational use or nature protection areas.
land use” means the major use to which a plot of land is being used
on any specified date according to KTCP act.
• land use, exploitation of land for agricultural, industrial,
residential, recreational, or other purposes.
• Or spatial arrangement of activities in a specified area.

4. Although all towns and cities are
different, most have grown and
developed in the same way.
Believe it or not there is a
PATTERN to it all !

6. We can show this pattern by using a MODEL – a
simplified picture.
This is an URBAN MODEL
to show the different land
use within a town or city.
Each different colour sector represents a
different type of land use.

8. THE CBD
The Central Business District
•Large Shops
•Offices
•Restaurants
•Cafes
•Cinemas
This is usually the original site of
the settlement.
It is centrally located because the
rest of the settlement has grown
around it.
•Theatres
•Museums
By- Jagan.shettar
10. INNER CITY
19th Century Housing
•Terraced houses for the factory workers.
• Some now replaced by high-rise flats.
•Small Corner shops
Located just outside the CBD
Houses built near to the factories so that
the workers could get to work easily.
By- Jagan.shettar
12. INNER SUBURBS
Housing 1920 - 1950
•Larger houses usually with gardens
•Some Parks
•Some rows of shops
Newer houses built for the growing population.
The land is cheaper the further away
from the CBD you go, so houses were
built with gardens.
By- Jagan.shettar
13. OUTER SUBURBS
Modern Housing
•New houses and housing estates
•New shopping centres
•Parks and other open areas
The land around the edge of a settlement is much
cheaper and there is enough space to build large
housing estates.
By- Jagan.shettar
15. New Industrial Area
Industrial estates and business
parks built since 1970, close to
main roads
They are located close to main roads &
rail lanes so that there is easy access for
goods and employees
By- Jagan.shettar
16. Old Industrial Areas
•Along a river, canal or railway
•Many old factories now closed
•Area may look run down
They are located near to rivers, canals
and railways because they needed to
transport goods in and out of the city.

17. Look out for different land use as you
travel around STOCKPORT or
MANCHESTER.
See if you can spot the pattern !

18. Land Values
The Land Value is the economic value assessed for land at
given time at given place.
Ratcliff (1949) Says that the land value is relative
efficiency in various use and location
Haig (1926) Says that the saving in transport cost is
directly invoked in bidding process to determine occupancy
By- Jagan.shettar
19. Factors affecting
Proximity to Transportation
According to Public Transportation, proximity to public transportation
makes properties more desirable and hence increases their value.
Environment Factors
The healthy environment and surrounded by green areas have mare
land values
Distance from CBD
More the distance travelled more decrease in value
Surrounding land use
The land use of surrounding is also one of the major factor
By- Jagan.shettar
20. Urban Form
Physical spatial characteristics of a city
♦ Size
♦ Population density
♦ Density variation in different parts
A steep
urban form
with a
central focus
of intense
land use and
value
Value
A sprawled urban
form with multiple
focus points and
more even land
values.

21. The “Bid-Rent” Curve
• The “bid-rent” is the maximum rent that a
potential user would be willing to pay for a site
or location – below we have a mono-centric city.

Differing Productivity & Sensitivity to Transport Cost

24. Distortion of Land Use Patterns: Polycentric
or Multiple Nuclei Cities
•
•
Real world cities are not purely monocentric, they
have other major activity areas (MACs) besides the
CBD.
Large cities are sprinkled with neighborhood
business districts (NBDs) that serve needs of local
communities
Suburban retail and
office cluster
CBD where land
value is highest
Multiple clusters of
economic centers
