		EDGE CITIES [edge cities] term designating commercial complexes that have grown up on the margins of large American cities, a development that dates mainly from the 1970s.
		Sometimes called "technoburbs," edge cities typically develop at the intersection of major highways and feature the amenities that serve large suburban populations in such locations—shopping malls, entertainment centers, hospitals, schools, regional airports, and the like.
		Turning edge cities into real cities: edge cities in Texas, Virginia, Florida, and elsewhere are becoming real cities.

	Edge city - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Edge city is an American term for a relatively new concentration of business, shopping and entertainment outside a traditional urban area, in what had recently been a residential suburb or semi-rural community.
		Garreau argues that the edge city has become the standard form of urban growth worldwide, representing a 20th-century urban form, as distinct from the 19th-century version of the central downtown.
		In particular, Century City, a pioneering edge city built on former 20th Century Fox backlot in western Los Angeles, was built in mind of connections to both a citywide light rail or monorail system and the planned Beverly Hills Freeway.

	The Edge City Fallacy, by John McCrory
		Garreau's main project is to convince the reader that the Edge City is legitimately a city, and in this he mostly succeeds, touring the developing fringe areas of nine metropolitan areas in the United States to demonstrate that Edge Cities have much of the complexity, diversity, size and economic vitality of a downtown.
		That these Edge Cities were less compact than older central cities and look quite different in their pattern, layout, and infrastructure is a reflection of the zoning, building, and land use ordinances, technological requirements and possibilities, and dominant modes of transportation that set the local rules of the game in these areas.
		Garreau's central assertion — that the Edge City is an altogether new and different type of urban form that supersedes the denser, industrial age central city — is therefore an erroneous and misleading conclusion to an otherwise thoughtful and insightful examination of the way we build cities in the late years of the 20th century.

		Edge City is a dated, macro explanation of late 20th-century development trends, not a preordained fate.
		Long term, the edge city is as likely to thrive due to telecommuting as it is to starve due to high fuel costs.

		Edge City looks at how suburbs are no longer just residential areas whose populations commute to the city to work and play, but have emerged as centers of employment and commerce in their own right.
		Edge City is obnoxious partially because it is full of lies, distortions, and contradictions, and partially because it espouses an irresponsible model of growth and settlement.
		They may not reside in edge cities, but they still comprise a major component of the overall operations and their needs and habits should also be considered.

	In-City Population Growth Occurs Near the Edge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The findings of “Living on the Edge: Decentralization Within Cities in the 1990s” show that revitalized central business districts in the 100 largest cities are often “islands” surrounded by neighborhoods experiencing significant population decay, and that 62 percent of all major-city population growth occurred along suburban borders, compared to just 11 percent in city cores.
		In the Southeast, cities grew massively at the outer edge, largely driven by annexation and the lack of natural boundaries such as water or mountains.
		In the West, cities on the whole grew at the fastest rate in the nation, and this growth was more evenly distributed throughout cities in most cases.

		For example, Sears Corporation moved to an Edge City where they were able to consolidate operations, enhance the quality of the workforce and the living and working environment (Garreau, 28).
		Edge Cities are a cheap and efficient way to house large numbers of people close to jobs (Garreau, 87).
		Many Edge cities in the USA are private but often assume the duties of a municipality such as libraries, fire department swimming pools, water, garbage collection.

	DrumNet - Edge City
		Garreau provides five concrete prerequisites for an area to be called an edge city, but the most important one by far is this: an edge city must have 5 million square feet of leasable office space.
		In fact, the conflict between edge cities and densely populated downtown cities (or CBDs--Central Business Districts--as he calls them) runs throughout this book and forms one of the core dilemmas of urban planning in America for the past 50 years.
		Edge cities began to take off in the late 70s, which was also the peak year in all American history for women entering the work force:

	The Garreau Group
		They are central to the Edge City society we are building, in which office parks are in the childrearing business, parking-lot officials run police forces, private enterprise builds public freeways, and sub-divisions have a say in who lives where.
		This private organization writes checks to the city to make sure that on public land the palm trees get trimmed, and the leaves raked, and the streets swept far more frequently than is the case in other parts of the city.
		So, increasingly, the committee that represents their values in the Edge City scheme of things is not parading in lock step with the city's elders and betters and the planners and the development interests.

		Already, two thirds of all American office facilities are in Edge Cities, and 80 percent of them have materialized in only the last two decades.
		His title is perfect, referring to location, to the cutting edge of commercial activity, to the "edge effect" of ecology, wherein life is most varied and concentrated at environmental edges, and to the nervy behavior of people who know they are creating new patterns, out there in edge city.
		There is probably no more important law of Edge City location than this: Whenever a company moves its headquarters, the commute of the chief executive officer always becomes shorter.

	EDGE CITY - reprint of East Bay Express article by Chris Thompson 4/9/99, part 1
		In 1984, the city of Albany closed the landfill, leaving it to the plants, birds, and jackrabbits that eventually colonized it.
		A small group of squatters moved in and erected a tent city among the weeds and ten-year-old saplings.
		First, the city of Albany extended construction of its part of the Bay Trail to the edge of the landfill, and more and more residents began hiking the area, rubbing elbows with the camp's dozens of inhabitants.

	The Garreau Group
		He pioneered the Edge City Boundaries, which demonstrate there are now 171 new urban cores in the U.S. outside the old downtowns.
		These Edge Cities — such as Silicon Valley, Calif., The Route 128 Technology Corridor in Massachusetts, Tysons Corner, Va., Schaumburg, Ill., and Irvine, Calif. — are home to the headquarters of such world shapers as Microsoft, Motorola, McDonalds and The Greatest Show on Earth, The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
		The builders of Edge City—the developers and their cohorts—are the biggest gossips since federal prosecutors, and for the same reason: they are constantly trying to figure out what makes human beings tick.

		Our new Edge Cities are tied together not by locomotives and subways, but by freeways, jetways and jogging paths.
		Their characteristic monument is not a horse-mounted hero in the square, but an atrium shielding trees perpetually in leaf at the cores of our corporate headquarters, fitness centers, and shopping plazas...The wonder is that these places, these curious new urban cores, were villages or corn stubble just 30 years ago.

		The many images in which the side of the Fairmont is visible as a dark strip at the edge suggest the borders of the frame itself.
		These are not cute tricks but explicit references to the shape of the film strip: he sees cinematic conventions of photography and projection as parallel to the endlessly repeating, and reversing, movements of glass elevators.
		Structures enclose or delimit each other, the land, and the sky; as one moves about a city in a car or bus or cable car one is trapped inside a metaphorical movie projector, a participant in a giant image-making machine.

		All the other quarters of the city are called "Sprawl Zone", which means that these aren´t controlled by anybody but are something like urban "no-mans-land".
		It´s good that there are many random event cards which change the monotous appearance of the city zones and this makes a different game each time.

		Based on the Frank Miller graphic novel of the same name, Sin City’s story starts with the chase down of a Senator’s son by a good cop named Hartigan (Bruce Willis).
