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

The Non-Western city

Built up more chaotically

• Due to rapid growth
• lack of regulation
• massive size

The Non-Western city

Differences with a western city:

• One or more business centres. The CBD is becoming more and more like the business centre in rich countries, with high-rise buildings and shiny offices.
• Scattered industrial sites, sometimes close to the centre.
• Residential areas for the rich with villas behind high gates.
• Slums

Slums

Located where there is still space, often where richer people do not want to live for the following reasons:

• It is too dangerous (steep slopes, close to a railway line), 
• it stinks (near a factory or garbage dump) or 
• it is too far from the centre. 

On the outskirts of the city are the youngest slums, while the older ones have now been incorporated into the city, refurbished and more working-class neighbourhoods than slums.

Waar bevinden de krottenwijken zich?

Slums outside the city

• Still close to the city
• With an opportunity to grow your own food
• Leads to massive sprawl of cities
