Multiple Nuclei Model

The Multiple Nuclei Model is a way to explain how some cities develop. Instead of a single central area, multiple centers or "nuclei" form around different activities or functions, like shopping centers, industrial zones, or business districts. These nuclei grow independently and attract surrounding neighborhoods, creating various hubs throughout the city. This model reflects modern urban layouts where cities expand with multiple centers, not just one downtown core, accommodating different needs and reducing congestion in any one area.
