    The concentric ring model of urban land use is driven by the arrival to succeeding waves of immigrants.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The concentric ring model of urban land use suggests that as immigrants arrive in a city, they tend to settle in the outermost ring and as succeeding waves of immigrants arrive, they settle in the subsequent rings. This model assumes that immigrants prefer to live in neighborhoods with people from their own cultural background, leading to the formation of ethnic enclaves. Therefore, the statement that the concentric ring model is driven by the arrival of succeeding waves of immigrants is true.

The automobile allows people to easily travel between these different nuclei, leading to the dispersal of various activities and land uses throughout the city.
