exopolis  

Definición

  • Exopolis (from the Greek exo “outside” and polis “city”) is one of many surnames given by the ancient Greeks to the goddess Athena because of the location of a statue in her honor outside the city walls of Athens. In urban studies, Edward Soja has used exopolis to refer to the edge city and other developments taking place outside of the city in what used to be called the suburban fringe, but it also refers to what comes after the city (thus ex “after” and polis “city”).
