Corporate Enclaves

Joel Garreau

Edge Cities function as enclaves of corporate office space, separate from traditional residential neighborhoods.

Context

Business districts emerging in suburban areas near freeway interchanges.

Problem

Traditional business districts are ill-suited for suburban populations that drive to work, leading to decentralized office agglomerations.

Solution

Develop business-focused Edge Cities with centralized corporate office spaces accessible by major highways.
