In urban geography, which term best describes the outer residential area of a city, often associated with commuter suburbs?
Correct Answer:
Suburbs
Explanation:
This describes how cities are organized into zones, with the outer residential area where people live and commute into the center being the suburbs. Suburbs are the living areas beyond the inner city, often connected by roads and rail and known for commuter travel to the core for work. The central business district is the city’s downtown, focused on offices and shops, not a residential ring. The zone of transition lies between the inner city and suburbs and typically shows mixed land use and housing change, while the inner city refers to the older, densely built core. So the best term for the outer residential commuter area is suburbs.
