exurbs  

Definición

  • Exurbs are a particular kind of pseudo-urban settlement—disjointed fragments of urban form surrounded by countryside but not really belonging to it, noncontiguous residential, or other functional dependencies of a town or city. An exurb is situated at some distance from the recognizable urban or metropolitan fringe, usually consisting of one or more housing tracts surrounded by open land still rural in character, as well as scattered employment and commercial sites, but few (if any) social services.
