It must have more than 465.000 m2 of office space. A city edge is characterized by more job space than bedrooms.
=== Edge cities ===
 
[[What are edge cities?]]<br>
How many people live in an Edge City?
[[How big are edge cities?]]<br>
 
[[How many people live in an Edge City?]]<br>
A city edge has enough space to house 20.000 to 50.000 people.
[[How is the transportation to and in Edge Cities?]]<br>
 
[[What impact have edge cities on the transportation/environment/etc?]]<br>
How is the transportation to and in Edge Cities?
[[Will there be more edge cities in the future?]]<br><br>
 
Edge cities are most of the time only accessible by automotive vehicles and lack of sidewalks.
 
What impact have edge cities on the transportation/environment/etc?
 
The edge cities lead towards large areas of office space that are accessible by car, which results into a larger CO2 emission which damages the environment. When building edge cities this has to be taken into consideration.
 
Will there be more edge cities in the future?
 
When a city population grows, edge cities can be created to supply citizens with work, housing and entertainment. Because of the growing Dutch population it’s unavoidable that new edge cities will be created.
 
TELEWORKING
 
How much and what kind of companies are using teleworking?
 
Nowadays a lot of firms use teleworking, when for a job no psychical attendance is required it is possible to telework. The availability of broadband internet nationwide encourages this trend.

Less cars, less traffic, means less CO2. If companies take the environment into consideration, this trend could help to reduce the CO2 emission, of course alternative measures have to be taken.
 
What is the impact of programs like skype and webbex on teleworking?
 
Instant messaging and VOIP technologies could encourage teleworking, people can talk to each other to create an more personal setting instead of email.

What is the impact on the work that will be accomplished? do people work more/less when working from home for the same amount of money?
 
TECHNOLOGIES
 
What future technologies are being developed?
 
What are the current technologies being used?
 
What happens if the fuel burns out? Then what?
 
What about electric?
 
      Batteries? Life? Coverage? Charge time/stations? Costs? saving environment?
 
            acceptance?
 
      Hybride? Life? Coverage? Charge time/stations? Costs? saving environment?

The comments made by the CIO team:

There are 3 main issues why people want to be mobile:

  • Transport of Goods
  • Entertainment
  • Work

Explore deeper into the scenarios, there is no clear solution

Teleworking has also to deal with trust, employer -> employee, does the employee really the amount of work he says he does.

Explore also extreme things i.e. No more cheap ryanair like flights

Give scenarios in ways of the use of mobility. Set the amount of mobility for each scenario, so the key uncertainties become clear.

Revised Scenarios:

After discussing the comments made on our "previous" scenarios we changed our 4 scenarios into the following:
