Also known as "The Sub Saharan Model"
The African City Model consists of three CBD's, market zone, transitional business center, and development.
Yes because of the three CBD’s but it is hard to create due to the diversity of African cities. Europeans established urban centers such as Nairobi, Kenya, and South Africa has major urban centers(Johannesburg) that are dominantly western.
It was created to explain the cities of semi-periphery and periphery countries. Although African countries are the least developed, they are the fastest, rapidly growing areas in the world.
How it is Applied:
The model is applied to the cities based on the three CBD's, traditional, market, and colonial.
The model is believed to be accurate because of the three CBD's, migration flow, and other patterns(child mortality rate).
