, Latin American City Model Griffin-Ford model. Developed by Ernst Griffin and Larry Ford. Blends traditional
Latin American culture with the forces of globalization. The CBD is dominant; it is
divided into a market sector and a modern high-rise sector. The elite residential
sector is on the extension of the CBD in the "spine". The end of the spine of elite
residency is the "mall" with high-priced residencies. The further out, less wealthy it
gets. The poorest are on the outer edge.

which are shaped like pieces of a pie. There are five different zones: 1. CBD 2.
