    At the end of the book is a list of US cities that qualified for edge city status in 1992. This is followed by a glossary of words used by edge city developers and a set of "laws" about how edge cities work. These "laws" are statistical observations about human behavior relevant for city planning, such as "the furthest distance an American will willing walk before getting into a car is 600 feet." Finally, there is an annotated list of suggested readings, endnotes, and an index. .

    Enviro groups in NY are constantly complaining about Robert Moses (the city planner mentioned in the article). He basically designed neighbourhoods for people to drive through, not for people to live in. Except for the neighbourhoods he bulldozed to turn into expressways.
