An urban extension that takes form in a single depth of houses along roads radiating from the city...In American parlance, ribbon, or strip, development usually refers to the garish commercial stretches lining highways, particularly those leading into and out of major urban areas. 1, record 2, English, - ribbon%20development

for "strip development" : These terms have both an abstract and a concrete meaning. The first refers to the trend of development which has or is taking place, and when this type of development occurs on the urban fringe, the concept is closely related to that of "radial expansion". In its second, very common acceptance, the term designates the actual result of this process. In both cases, the term is pejorative, and should be distinguished from such concepts as the "corridor pattern" of planned development along designated routes. 1, record 2, English, - ribbon%20development

[La] tendance à l'urbanisation linéaire dans l'axe des grandes routes ainsi que les frontières administratives des nombreuses municipalités affectées ont semblé inhiber le développement de liens routiers transversaux. De tels liens auraient formé une grille d'artères urbaines qui aurait favorisé une meilleure consolidation de l'urbanisation plutôt que de la projeter plus loin le long des routes régionales. 1, record 2, French, - urbanisation%20lin%C3%A9aire

«développement linéaire» : Ces termes ne recouvrent que partiellement la notion que désignent "ribbon" ou "strip development". Alors que les termes anglais s'appliquent à la fois au processus et, de façon plus concrète, à son résultat, "urbanisation" et "développement" sont des termes plus abstraits qui réfèrent seulement au processus, à l'orientation : la notion qu'ils désignent est donc étroitement liée à celle d'"étalement radial". Pour désigner le phénomène concret, il faut plutôt parler d'un "corridor d'urbanisation", mais ce terme n'est pas aussi spécifique et n'a pas les connotations péjoratives de "ribbon" ou de "strip development". 1, record 2, French, - urbanisation%20lin%C3%A9aire
