Sector Model (also known as Hoyt Model and Hoyt Sector Model) is an urban land use model which talks about spatial arrangement of activities in an urban area. Big cities and towns have always been an area of research and have caught the attention of scholars and academicians. Homer Hoyt gave sector model which is also known as Hoyt Model, in 1939 which explains how cities grew and activities arranged themselves in the form of concentric zone. As we witness the population growth it is becoming more and more essential to understand how cities work. Studies on patterns of urban growth, spatial forms, settlement geography, and land use are of great interest to the concerned people. Various theories and land use models have been proposed which attempt to explain how the growth took place and how different groups & activities are arranged in an urban area.
