Functional Zonation
There are different ways in which Copenhagen is broken up into different regions/zones. 1. Bus Fares. This is an example of functional zonation because of the fact that the city is divided into 95 different zones to determine how much you will need to pay to take the bus. 2. City Districts. Because Copenhagen is broken down into around eight districts, it is an example of functional zonation. The breaking down into districts allows the Copenhagen government to more easily deal with all of the people in the city. 3. Neighborhoods. Copenhagen can also be divided into the places where people live. |
