The statement is true.

Explanation:

The Multiple Nuclei Model developed by Chauncey Harris and Edward Ullman in 1945. They were eminent geographers who described the importance of a city's layout. Their model of city layout consisted of nine different sections which all had separate functions. According to the their model, cities do not have one center which contributes all of the growth, but rather have numerous centers of development based on specific urban needs or activities. They termed these developing centers as a nucleus and as cities began to grow rapidly, they annexed formerly outlying and independent townships that had been communities in their own right.
