Question
This geographical term was invented by Joel Garreau in a seminal 1961 book titled for it and “life on the new frontier.” For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this term for new cities developing around outer fringes of metropolitan areas with large amounts of office and retail space, whose original archetype is Tysons, Virginia. A type of them called a “greenfield” is typified by Reston Town Center.
ANSWER: edge city
[10e] Edge cities lack these central commercial and cultural areas found in traditional cities. Many edge cities are attempting to pedestrianize their centers to emulate these areas.
ANSWER: downtowns [accept CBDs or central business districts; prompt on city centers]
[10h] In a 2007 book of the same name, Robert Lang created this portmanteau term for Tysons and other edge cities with over 100,000 residents and double-digit rates of population growth over multiple decades, the largest at the time being Mesa, Arizona.
ANSWER: boomburbs (The portmanteau is “boomer,” one of Garreau’s subclassifications of edge cities, and “suburb.”)
