In his influential 1991 book Edge City, Joel Garreau argued that every American city is growing in the fashion of Los Angeles, with multiple urban cores. He named these cores edge cities because they perform all of the city functions, but rise in places that were farmlands or villages only decades ago, far from the old downtowns.
