Upcoming Edge Cities

Nowadays offices are located in different parts of a city, because the cities expand more and more edge cities are created, for example Rivium in Rotterdam. Large areas with offices 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 traffic 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 traffic, when keeping teleworking out of consideration. This increase of traffic 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 office buildings. Because of the office buildings become in popular to live, because of the focus on the office buildings there is no place for housing, the people will always have to travel towards these edge cities which are mostly based on automotive traffic, 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.
