First off, it's GALVESTON!!! Sorry, I had to get that off my chest. Second, what's the purpose of a headline? TO GRAB YOUR ATTENTION. Geez, don't take it so literally. As Caligrad mentioned in post #91 is right. The article is simply stating that a major, metropolitan, American city doesn't have zoning and as a result you get different neighbors ie.) San Felipe, The Huntington, Beer Can House, etc. that pop up in non-CBD neighborhoods.

Business center, economic center, skyline, skyscraper clusters, are all the same thing. They all require essentially the same characteristics to be given one or the other definitions.

http://www.energycorridor.org/sites/...013_Report.pdf <<< Read that and tell me it's not an edge city. Btw, density wise it looks pretty similar to Irvine.

The fact of the matter is, whether you agree or not, is that 5+ entire employment centers have been created outside of the CBD all without planning and all within the same city limit.
