The Concentric Zone Model explains the proper layout and functional utility of heavy industrial properties, and specifies work zones, office zones, and transition zones.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not Applicable
• D. Unrelated

Answer: (B)

The Concentric Zone Model shows urban land use in rings around the central business district, explaining how different activities tend to cluster as you move outward from the center. It isn’t a blueprint for placing heavy industrial properties or for defining separate “work” and “office” zones. The model does include a zone of transition near the center, a mixed-use area that can contain industry and housing, but it’s not a prescriptive layout for industrial property or office zoning. Thus, the statement is false.
