The idea
Suburbanization is growth on metropolitan fringes; sprawl is low-density housing discontinuous with the built-up area; reurbanization is central-core growth after decline. Gentrification is higher-income households moving into older, central, working-class neighborhoods. An edge city concentrates shopping and offices on the fringe near highway junctions.
In practice

Where people slip
