Freeway-Centric Development
Joel Garreau
Suburban office-retail agglomerations grow around freeway interchanges, creating Edge Cities with their own economy and culture.
Context
Suburban regions experiencing growth around major highways and freeway interchanges.
Problem
Traditional cities cannot accommodate the decentralized business and retail needs of suburban populations, leading to development at freeway interchanges.
Solution
Plan for office and retail agglomerations at suburban freeway nodes, creating new Edge Cities with their own infrastructure and rules.
