Satellite City (sitcom) A satellite town or satellite city is a concept of
urban planning, although many satellite cities and towns appeared spontaneously near many
metropoleis. Satellite towns are smaller
municipalities that are adjacent to a major
city which is the core of a
metropolitan area. They differ from mere
suburbs,
subdivisions and especially
bedroom communities in that they have municipal governments distinct from that of the core
metropolis and employment bases sufficient to support their residential populations. Conceptually, satellite cities could be self-sufficient communities outside of their larger metropolitan areas. However, functioning as part of a metropolis, a satellite city experiences cross-commuting (that is, residents commuting out of and employees commuting into the city). It may involve consciously planned cities to act as spiller or
dormitory towns. Satellite cities are involved in the urbanism plans of
Brasília,
Jakarta,
Singapore,
Delhi and
Canberra.
