Answer :

Final answer:

The 5 stages of the concentric ring model are central business district (CBD), zone of transition, zone of working-class housing, suburbs, and commuting zones (exurbs).

Explanation:

The 5 stages of the concentric ring model are:

  1. Central business district (CBD): This is the core of the city where many businesses are located.
  2. Zone of transition: The area adjacent to the CBD where there is a mix of residential and commercial land uses. It is often characterized by high population densities and older housing stock.
  3. Zone of working-class housing: This zone is where working-class people live in single-family houses or duplexes. It is located beyond the zone of transition.
  4. Suburbs: The suburban zone is characterized by larger homes with bigger yards and garages. The residents are generally part of the middle class.
  5. Commuting zones or exurbs: These are the more distant areas from the CBD where upper-middle-class residents may live in houses on large lots. They often have longer commutes.
