Editing Edge city (section)

==Density and cityscapes==
Spatially, edge cities primarily consist of mid-rise office towers (with some [[skyscraper]]s) surrounded by massive surface parking lots and meticulously manicured lawns, almost reminiscent of the designs of [[Le Corbusier]].{{sfn|Garreau|1991|p=389}}  Instead of a traditional street grid, their street networks are [[street hierarchy|hierarchical]], consisting of winding parkways (often lacking sidewalks) that feed into [[arterial road]]s or freeway ramps.  However, edge cities feature job density similar to that of secondary downtowns found in places such as [[Newark, New Jersey|Newark]] and [[Pasadena, California|Pasadena]]; indeed, Garreau writes that edge cities' development proves that "density is back!".{{sfn|Garreau|1991|p=37}}
