Definition #69601 - Preferred

 

definition

x₁ is a general metropolitan area with (population, commercial, industrial, business, economic, infrastructural, vel sim.) center/focal point/downtown/main or dominating urban area x₂, with supporting semi-urban/inner suburban region x₃, more (outer) suburban region x₄, and exurban region x₅.

notes

The divisions are fuzzy and none of the specifications are inherently legal/government-recognized. Generally, x₂ is primarily oriented toward work/daily activity and does not have any or much support for actually inhabiting such a place/region (except penthouses), it is the downtown of a relatively big city; x₃ begins to support habitation by the general public but is still urban/developed within an urban model (it may include boroughs); x₄ is almost exclusively habitable areas with local or smaller business (sometimes, there will be fractalic hubs with their own fairly well-developed commercial/business centers, but these will tend to be smaller and - as stated - more focused on commercial or smaller business interests (or a commercial chains or malls), rather than economic or industrial pursuits; they will also have a notably smaller servicing or permanent population and population density; but it is all fuzzy and there will be plenty of exceptions); x₅ is the outer region of a metropolitan area and it will be somewhat more sparsely populated and will grade toward a rural lifestyle or simply human-uninhabited/natural territory toward its outer edges, even though such features/lifestyle will not be ubiquitous. Megalopolises are bigger than x₁, typically (but not necessarily); x₁ contains (in a general way) or 'owns' or is the orientation of all of the other x_is; it the x₂ area/system. Outposts/frontier settlements do not belong to this structure. See also: tcadu, jarbu (which this word generalizes).
