The ‘decentralized city’ can be identified by:

the shift of employment and services away from the inner city towards multiple centres in smaller towns and rural areas
the degendering of public space as women use local facilities more
gentrification: the movement of middle class people back into the inner city
all of the above
all of the above  Decentralization is associated with dedifferentiation, the process by which parts of the city have become less specialized in the functions and services they provide: the urban centre is replaced by numerous industrial estates. This is due to the movement of shops and leisure services to the periphery of the city, along with networks of motorways and railway lines. The inner city then becomes a place that is amenable to women and the middle classes, who move back into it. 511-512
