How are edge cities formed and how are they beneficial/detrimental?​

Geography

sergey [27]3 years ago

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Edge cities are usually formed because land in the suburbs or on the outskirts of the city is cheaper (bid-rent curve), so they can make more a profit.

These businesses are normally connected the the CBD (central business district) so transportation to and from that area is still possible.

People that live in the suburbs or are visiting the main city have easy access to the edge city as you might not have to travel as far to these cities as the CBD (distance decay).

Edge cities can be a good thing because they allow for new businesses to thrive and they can increase economic activity and competition due to new construction, cheaper prices, new companies moving in, etc.

However, they can also be a detriment to the CBD because they might allow companies to relocate due to the cheaper land prices, they might take in the typical customers of the CBD companies, ultimately leading to the vacancy of the CBDs, which could be dangerous and create high-crime, unsanitary, or contaminated areas. It can also take attention away from significant or historical monuments and locations in the CBD.

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D

According to the population pyramid, in 2000 China had about 120 million people in which age-group
OLga [1]

Answer:

50-64

Explanation:

China is the nation with the largest population in the world, and that has been the case throughout all of the written history, and probably even before that. The country had very large birthrates, which was leading to rapid growth to the population. Because of that, there was even a law that restricted the families as to how many children they can have. Because of that law, the population of China started to gradually age, so the percentage of the younger age groups has been declining, while the percentage of the older age groups has been on the rise. This has led to the age group of 50-64 to account for 120 million people in China, a percentage that has grown almost twice compared to several decades prior to that.

What dictated the division of ancient Greece into many small, independent city states?
pishuonlain [190]
The one answer that I am missing among the options, but which is the correct one is: the geography of the region ( I assume that that's what was instead of the "7" in the first option).

It was very mountainous, with valleys and islands on which people lived -meaning there was a natural separation between the different settlements.
