| Summary: | address local industry strength and population dynamics analysis. Key words: edge city, GIS, shift-share analysis, and regional growth indices. The Clear Lake-NASA area reached area and this can be accomplished with GIS-based shift-share by shift-share analysis and then graphed according to local census industry populations for manufacturing, wholesale and changes attributable to edge city growth. The area was Clear Lake-NA SA Area, Texas, Houston, Texas. combined effect of all edge cities on the parent metropolitan coverages using ARC/INFO TIGERTOOL. Data files were decennial industry economic activity levels were calculated delineated for the four decades from 1960 to 1990 using development and economic conditions of the area in ways not downloaded into a SUN workstation and converted into edge city status in the mid 1980s but not according to focused on the empirical testing of Garreau's edge city Garreau's temporal setting. Initial input of the large scale high technology NASA/JSC facility clearly accelerated the historical data sets and census tract data on population and identified by Garreau. Rapid development of this area has industries. 1992 TIGER/Line data for the study area were model by addressing the question, Do all edge cities follow model, developing a GIS-based shift-share methodology for profoundly impacted the natural and built environment resulting in numerous policy changes of regional scope. retail trade, and professional and related services by census Texas into an edge city and challenged the Garreau edge city the Garreau model of development? Objectives of the study This study examined the development of Clear Lake-NASA Area, tract number. The Shift-share formulation was modified to transferred to PC ArcView and databases were built linking unique to this area and study. Using Excel spreadsheet, Urban development studies must be expanded to include the urban development studies, and identifying urban policy |
