Key words §2.3

Suburbanisation - Movement of people from cities to the suburbs

Edge city - An area with a concentration of offices, shopping centres and facilities for recreation. Residential areas that sprouts near motorway intersections at the edges of large cities

Suburbs - Living area at the edge of a city

CBD (Central Business District) - Centre of a city housing all types of offices

Gentrification - Process of the renewal of deteriorated neighborhoods in high class residential areas. Also leading to the rise of the level of facilities in the neighborhood

CBD

The CBD, or central business district, is where you find high rising buildings at the centre of the American city. This is where big businesses have their offices and where the stock markets like Wall Street are located.

Old residential areas

Old residential areas in American cities were largely abandonend by people with a higher income. This left the poorer people behind and led to a degradation in the quality of these neighbourhoods. This is where you find the ghetto's.

Edge city

Due to many people moving outside of the city as a result of suburbanisation the facilities followed. This in turn created cities at the edge of the city. which were largely independent from the main city.

suburb

The rich people moved out of the city centre and into more spacious suburbs. They would often still work in the CBD. These people working in the city but living outside a city are called commuters (forensen).

Malls

Outside the city massive megamalls sprung up. These enormous stores ran smaller stores inside the city out of business. This led to a further degradation of the city centre.

Middle-income areas

These are residential areas around the city which are inhabited by the people who cannot afford living in a suburb, but are rich enough not to live in the ghetto's.

Old industrial area

Cities used to be formed around large industrial areas. These places can still be found in many cities. Most of these industrial areas are no longer in use and are places where gentrification takes place. This is a process where places are made more popular and disirable by inhabitants.
