Satellite town
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A satellite town or satellite city is a concept of urban planning, although many satellite cities and towns appeared spontaneously near many metropolises. It may involve consciously planned cities to act as spiller or dormitory towns. Satellite cities are involved in the urbanism plans of Brasília, Singapore and Canberra. In Hong Kong, satellite towns are also new towns.
