Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The polycentric new metropolis model is characterized by multiple centers of economic activity connected by transportation networks, which perfectly describes the urban structure of the megalopolis from Washington, D.C. to Boston. This model is different from the concentric ring and sector and corridor models, which are more suited for smaller cities. Smart growth and invasion and succession are planning strategies rather than models of urban structure.
