Answer - B - Edge cities have been described as the "tenements of the information age."

Key Takeaway: Edge city is a term to describe the concentration of development that is taking place outside of traditional urban areas in what had previously been residential suburbs. Most edge cities develop near freeways intersections and primarily consist of mid-rise office towers, surrounded by massive surface parking lots and perfectly landscaped lawns. The housing surrounding these office towers are home for the people working in the office buildings.
