Zone IV: In
the best planned zone comprising of the best house in the urban centre. In the
south eastern portion are modern apartment and bungalows built by the African
timber and plywood factory management to house administrative and high grade
technical staff. The zone extends to the periphery of the city and what may be
referred to as sub-urban. This zone is occupied by the middle class population
or what may be referred to as the bourgeoisie elements in the city. The zones slow
above almost correspond with the four zones that were drawn by the Chicago School
of criminology. This school spearheaded by professors McKay and Shaw postulated
that crime was more likely to occur in inner zone such as zones 1, 2 and 3 and
was less likely to occur in zone 4
inhabited by respected and affluent members of the public. They claimed that
people settled first in zone 1 and 2 and set up industries while people moved
to zone 4 to escape the hurly-burly of the core of the city and live a more
quit life (Mckay and Shaw, 1969). Their statistics were drawn from their study
of Chicago city itself, but is this true of Sapele?
