The fastest-growing kind of town in the country is one on the outer edge of a metropolitan area which has acquired an employment base. Christopher Leinberger, writing in The Atlantic three years ago, called these communities "urban villages," and there are also several other names for them, including "edge cities" and "technoburbs." The communities have cropped up all over the country in Plano, Texas, and Tysons Corner, Virginia; the towns in the valleys surrounding the Los Angeles Basin and along the outer reaches of San Francisco Bay; New York satellites like Stamford, White Plains, and Princeton. 1, record 1, English, - urban%20village
