Hoyt's model of land use, like the von Thunen model, emphasizes the importance of distance from a central point—in this case, the city center—affecting land use patterns, particularly in relation to transportation costs for agriculture and urban functions. Similarly, it aligns with the Burgess model by illustrating how different socio-economic groups and land uses are arranged in concentric zones radiating outward from the center. Both models highlight the influence of accessibility and economic activities on urban development and land use distribution. Thus, while they differ in structure, they share a common focus on spatial organization driven by economic factors.

The Burgess Model was created to explain the spatial structure of cities and how they evolve over time. It was developed in the 1920s by urban sociologist Ernest Burgess to illustrate the concentric zones of urban development in Chicago.
In the Von Thunen Model, grazing is located far from the city center because grazing requires large amounts of land and space for animals to feed. Land further away from the city tends to be cheaper and more abundant, which makes it more economically viable to use for grazing purposes in the model.

Similarities: Market in the middle sorrounded my rings pertainig to different land use values. House value decreases going away from the market. Both models do not take any consideration into how technology in the future could impact their spatial layout. Differences: The von thunen model relates to agricultural or rural land use/distribution while the concentric zone model applies to urban and social areas conncected to the CBD (central business district). The von thunen model helps explain how transportation rules where what produce is produced and kept. The wealthier residents of a city live in the outer rings in the concentric zone model.
its a model for many cities, although Burgess had the idea after looking at chicago. It is thought to work best on many American cities.
