Edge cities are settlements with a very high concentration of office, business, retail, and entertainment spaces and activities. These settlements are located outside the traditional city downtowns. Most of them are in former rural or nonurban areas, close to motorway intersections or other major streets; others are close to important international airports. Many authors consider edge cities as one of the suburbanization forms. The first examples emerged in the United States in the mid‐twentieth century: The first use of the expression “edge city,” however, dates to 1991 – by the journalist Joel Garreau in his book Edge City: Life on the New Frontier
