Figure 11.7: A hypothetical decentralized city. While the old central business district (CBD) struggles (vacant stores and upper floors), newer activities locate either in the urban redevelopment project (offices, convention center, hotel) or in outlying office parks, malls, or shopping centers. However, some new specialty shops might be found around the new downtown pedestrian mall. New industry locates in suburban industrial parks that, along with outlying office areas, form major destinations for daily lateral commuting.
