Explanation:

The bid-rent model refers to a theory that states that the price and demand for real estate is influenced by the distance between the residence and the central commercial deficit. This is because people tend to prefer residences near the city center, because it can increase the profitability of commerce. According to this rationalization, this model asserts that an increase in an individual's average travel speed may cause a decrease in property rentals closer to the central business district.
