I would also recommend Garreau's Edge City, 1992. He has a way of "thinking outside the box" that I find very interesting.

In this case, it's about the causes and effects of "new cities" which have sprung up on the perimeters of major metro areas, such as Lenox/Buckhead (Atlanta) and Tysons Corner (VA suburbs of DC).

It's a reasonably sympathetic look at what many denigrate as "urban sprawl."

Sounds interesting. I would add Henderson (Las Vegas), Nashua (Boston), and Tempe (Phoenix).
