life on the new frontier, Volume 1991, Part 2
Front Cover
11 Reviews
Doubleday, 1991 - Social Science - 546 pages
According to Joel Garreau, we are in the middle of the biggest change in 100 years in how we live, work, and play--and most of us don't even know it. By moving our jobs out to the suburbs where we live and shop, we have created Edge Cities. Garreau has spent three years visiting Edge Cities and presents a groundbreaking book about who we are, how we got that way, where we are headed and what we value.

Review: Edge City: Life on the New Frontier

User Review  - Andrew - Goodreads

Although somewhat out of date (and with the return of the wealthy to the inner cities a bit OBE), this book is still a fascinating look at how our cities in the 1980s and 1990s spawned ring cities in the inner suburbs. Read full review
