RESEARCH

Burgess' groundbreaking Social Ecology research, in conjuction with his colleague, Robert E. Park , provided the foundation for The Chicago School . In ''The City'' , they conceptualized the City into the concentric zones, including the Central Business District , transitional (industrial, deteriorating housing, ...), working class residential ( Tenements ), residential, and commuter/ Suburban zones. They also viewed cities as something that experiences evolution and change, in the Darwinian sense.
