In the Griffin-Ford model, where are the zones of disamenity typically located relative to the CBD?

• A. Near the periphery
• B. Directly adjacent to the CBD
• C. Along the spine
• D. In wealthy inner neighborhoods

Answer: (A)

In the Latin American city model, disamenity zones form at the city’s edge where land is cheapest and services are weakest, reflecting inequality that pushes poverty outward from the core. These peripheral pockets often house informal housing or less developed neighborhoods and lie away from the wealthy inner areas and the central spine of development. So, the zones of disamenity are typically located near the periphery, not directly adjacent to the CBD, not along the spine, and not in wealthy inner neighborhoods.
