Upcoming Edge Cities

Nowadays o�ces are located in di�erent parts of a city, because the cities expand more and more edge cities are created, for example Rivium in Rotterdam. Large areas with o�ces located near the edge of a city. These city edges influence the mobility of people, when companies are nested together a larger amount of people travel into the same direction, nowadays resulting in massive streams of tra�c towards an city edge. Because of the city edges and technological changes, these changes could result into a more directed way of traveling towards city edges, for example automated busses or metros. These city edges do not lead only in traveling into one directions but also in increase of tra�c, when keeping teleworking out of consideration. This increase of tra�c has to be regulated to deal with the increase of city edges. The edge become more and more popular for companies because of the space and location of their o�ce buildings. Because of the o�ce buildings become in popular to live, because of the focus on the offi�ce buildings there is no place for housing, the people will always have to travel towards these edge cities which are mostly based on automotive tra�c, for pedestrians they will be hard to reach. To solve the problems of mobility towards these edge cities not only technology will have a part in this development, but also new forms of public transportation, nowadays it's hard to get people who are used to travel by car into the public transportation. Experiments with free tickets, motivation from companies has to result into more use of public transportation.
