Towards Hyper Region
• Rapid growth of population
• high density in Hub
• Leads to competition of limited resources for survival
• Social Heterogeneity
• Larger the settlement, the greater the variety of people
• More freedom to pursue “different” things
• Unusual jobs, homosexuality, cultural interests
• More accepted in large urban areas
• Despite freedom, many feel lonely or isolated in urban settlements
• Surrounded by indifferent people.
Edge cities can be break down as peripheral residences, gas station, & other services develop over time to established shopping centers and malls, then light manufacturing centers, Often developed around nuclei of attraction. These become edge cities.
Alternate explanation
Original communities grow with increasing pop. density and density gradient which is change in density with distance.
Once high, with CBD and nearby regions densely populated.
Decay and urban blight ->suburban flight, ->smaller cities farther out
