Abstract

Major cities face problems as a result of the concentration of business and the economy, which exceeds their capabilities. This leads to two outcomes: either the absolute dominance of the major city over the rest of the cities, or the growth of urban agglomerations on the outskirts of cities.

The research problem is defined by how urban growth occurs in edge cities. Based on the assumption that edge cities are urban agglomerations that have undergone urban growth, the research objective is to study the stages of urban growth in edge cities.

The research is divided into three axes: the first addresses edge cities, the second addresses urban growth, and the third focuses on the study of urban cities.
