In the post-industrial era, an edge city is a city or
residential suburb that has shopping malls, business centres and entertainment
centres which lies just outside the outskirt of the main residential area. This
is actually an American term. These buildings fall mainly along the main
traffic route. The edge city may be a semi urban area or a recently created
development for business dealings and other entertainment places. This kind of
city added a new dimension in the life of people.
