过去对郊区市中心的研究强调了城市结构中多核化的出现和多个城市领域的日益独立。本研究的目的是建立一个框架，以确定和比较每个市中心的就业概况在一个大都市区，包括中央商务区。使用零售业就业，服务，金融，保险和真实的房地产（FIRE）的数据，在亚特兰大地区存在的四个市中心进行检查，连同分散的网站就业。这项研究表明，市中心，而不是作为独立的城市领域存在，是相互依存的基础上的工作旅行通勤模式，购物行为和交通流量一般，所有这些都越来越多的汽车为基础。公共交通乘客量主要集中在往返中央商务区的放射性服务上，而到其他市中心和分散的就业地点的服务水平较差。
The study of suburban downtowns in the past has emphasized the emergence of multinucleation in urban structure and the growing independence of multiple urban realms. The purpose of this study is to develop a framework to identify and compare the employment profiles of each downtown in a metropolitan area, including the CBD. Using data on retail employment, services, and finance, insurance, and real estate (FIRE), the four downtowns that exist in the Atlanta region are examined, together with scattered-site employment. This study suggests that downtowns, rather than existing as independent urban realms, are mutually interdependent based on work-trip commuting patterns, shopping behavior, and traffic flows in general, all of which increasingly are automobile based. Mass transit ridership suffers from its primary focus on radial services to and from the CBD and poor service levels to other downtowns and to scattered employment sites.
