Edge city
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. The term was popularized in a 1991 book of that title by American writer Joel Garreau, who invented it while working as a reporter for the Washington Post.
