A city that is mainly composed of residential areas. It often develops as a satellite city around a large city. Many people commute to work or school, and daily life generally depends on the core large city. Because it is nothing more than a place for commuters to sleep, it is sometimes called a commuter town, a Japanese-English term. In Japan, residential cities centered around Tokyo include Urawa, Omiya, Musashino, Kodaira, Koganei, Ichikawa, and Matsudo, while in the Hanshin region, Toyonaka, Ikeda, and Ashiya have developed around Osaka and Kobe. In other countries, new towns that combine housing and workplaces are designed. Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia About Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia Information |
主として住宅地から形成されている都市。大都市の周辺に衛星都市として発達する場合が多い。通勤・通学者が多く,日常生活も一般に中核となる大都市に依存する。通勤者にとっては寝るための場所でしかないということから,ベッドタウンという和製英語で呼ばれることもある。日本では東京を中心とした住宅都市として浦和,大宮,武蔵野,小平,小金井,市川,松戸など,阪神地方では大阪,神戸などの周辺に発達した豊中,池田,芦屋などがある。なお外国では,住宅と職場を一つにしたニュータウンが設計されている。
