City’s Core and Periphery

Lewis Mumford

A dynamic balance between a city's core and its periphery supports overall urban stability and resilience.

Context

Growth of urban areas during periods of expansion and densification.

Problem

Cities that neglect their peripheries can become unbalanced, with overcrowded centers and neglected fringes.

Solution

Foster development equally in the city center and periphery to maintain urban balance and prevent decay.
