Abstract： |
In the U.S., following the suburbanization of America
and the malling of America, a large number of service sector jobs
had spread to the suburbs, and then the fully functional Edge Cities
was formed gradually. The Edge City has become a new trend
of Western suburbanization, and a new form of the multi-center
development of metropolitan areas in the developed countries. This
paper firstly introduces the background, the concept and content,
the type and defined standards of the American Edge City, and then
gives a review of main characteristics and dynamic mechanism of
foreign edge cities, and finally summarizes the research on“ Edge
City” in China. On this basis, combined with the development
stage and institutional background of some metropolitan areas in
China, the research gives an understanding of“ Edge City” in China.
Learning from the experience of foreign Edge Cities, the research
indicates the future research directions and priorities on“ Edge City”
in China. |
