Edge City
Edge City: Life on the New Frontier by Joel Garreau explores the rise of suburban commercial centers that have transformed how Americans live and work. These “Edge Cities” — clusters of offices, retail spaces, and entertainment hubs — emerge at major highway intersections, drawing businesses and residents away from traditional downtowns. Garreau analyzes their development, economic impact, and cultural significance, arguing that they represent a new urban form shaped by modern needs and technologies.
