Hoyt, a famous expert on urban social developments, explained that high-class residential areas were found to be located in sectors which expanded outward from the city center by addition of new belts of better quality housing units along its outer arc. An interesting attempt to combine theoretical elements of both the concentric and sector theory was presented by Mann. In his model, which included four sectors within which concentric zones were demarcated, the high-income class people were located in sectors with a different geographical topography and zonal areas with housing development.
The multiple nuclei theory of Harris and Ullman identified a series of nuclei rather than the single central core. Accordingly, the high-class residential areas were found to be located at well-drained highlands closer to the outlying business districts and away from the low-class residential areas. When considering the present developments in Real Estate Trivandrum is witnessing such a trend, ever since the boom in the Information Technology (IT) sector began.
These concepts were further taken up by a number of researchers who dealt with the residential structure of the city. For example, Duncan and Duncan analyzed the degree of segregation which, they explained, was determined by the intensity of economic distances (income inequalities) between groups in the city. The socio-economic status of an area increased with the increasing distance from the city areas and the high-class occupational groups showed marked decentralization (proximity to the periphery).
Thus, the conclusion arrived at by the prominent urban development experts are equally correct when analyzing the present developments being seen in the capital city. The urban areas of M.G.Road, Sasthamangalam, Jawahar Nagar and other prominent areas are now witnessing major developments with each passing year. It is interesting to note that these areas have mixed the business areas with the residential localities.
