Changing Patterns of Land Use in a Decentralizing Metropolis

Year: 1984

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT Changing patterns of land use from 1956 to 1970 in metropolitan Chicago are examined using two surveys of land use. Beyond eight miles to the CBD, the changes in land use reflect the process of suburbanization. Within four miles of the CBD, the vacancy rate increased and residential, manufacturing, and commercial use declined. Between four and eight miles from the CBD, the vacancy rate decreased and residential use increased, but manufacturing and commercial use decreased.
