=== Suburbanization ===
{{Main|Suburbanization}}
When the residential area shifts outward, this is called suburbanization. A number of researchers and writers suggest that suburbanization has gone so far to form new points of concentration outside the downtown both in developed and developing countries such as India.<ref>{{Cite journal | doi = 10.1016/j.regsciurbeco.2006.11.001| title = Density gradients and their determinants: Evidence from India| journal = Regional Science and Urban Economics| volume = 37| issue = 3| pages = 314–44| year = 2007| last1 = Sridhar | first1 = K.

It is called variously [[edge city]] (Garreau, 1991), network city (Batten, 1995), postmodern city (Dear, 2000), or [[exurb]], though the latter term now refers to a less dense area beyond the suburbs. Los Angeles is the best-known example of this type of urbanization. In the United States, this process has reversed as of 2011, with "re-urbanization" occurring as ''suburban flight'' due to chronically high transport costs.<ref>{{cite web |last=Bora |first=Madhusmita |url=http://www.nwitimes.com/lifestyles/home-and-garden/shifts-in-u-s-housing-demand-will-likely-lead-to/article_06860ab0-ef92-5c44-a05a-ef5aafef0143.html |title=Shifts in U.S. housing demand will likely lead to the re-urbanization of America |publisher=Nwitimes.com |date=1 July 2012 |access-date=20 March 2013 |archive-date=26 September 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170926041845/http://www.nwitimes.com/lifestyles/home-and-garden/shifts-in-u-s-housing-demand-will-likely-lead-to/article_06860ab0-ef92-5c44-a05a-ef5aafef0143.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

Nor is it between foreign and national interests. It is between rural classes and urban classes. The rural sector contains most of the poverty and most of the low-cost sources of potential advance; but the urban sector contains most of the articulateness, organization, and power. So the urban classes have been able to win most of the rounds of the struggle with the countryside... </div> |source=– Michael Lipton, author of urban bias theory<ref>Varshney, A. (ed.) 1993.
