The value lies in how this technology is used rather than simply how much technology is available. • Records are kept and resources are monitored and managed using computerized systems.

• A satellite city is a city that is located close to but outside the
limits of a larger city and is connected to the larger city by an efficient public transport system. • For example, London has several satellite cities like Brentwood, Crawley and Chelmsford. New Haven and Bridgeport are among the satellites of New York City. Ipswich, Queensland, is a satellite to Brisbane(Australia), and Kitchener and Guelph, to Toronto(Canada). Characteristics of Satellite city • It is a planned city. • It has mainly residential buildings, schools, banks and shops. It has few or no factories. • It is established as a city distinct from its neighboring larger city, and has its own municipal government and its own water supply, power supply and waste-management system • Often, its limits and defined and there are restrictions on its expansion. • It is separated from its neighboring larger city by a large stretch of farmland or countryside or by a geographical feature such as a river or a lake. • It is connected to its neighboring large city by an efficient public transport system, which may include buses, a high -speed railway, and so on. METROPOLIITAN CITY • A satellite city and its neighboring larger city are often part of a METROPOLITAN AREA. • A metropolitan area is an area that includes one or more large cities, their satellite cities and the rural area between these cities from where commuters go to work in the cities. • Metropolitan areas include satellite cities, towns and intervening rural areas that are socioeconomically tied to the urban core, typically measured by commuting patterns. Most metropolitan areas are anchored by one core city such as Paris metropolitan area (Paris), Mumbai Metropolitan Region (Mumbai (Bombay)), and New York metropolitan area (New York City). In some cases, metropolitan areas have multiple centers of close to equal importance, such as Dallas–Fort Worth metropolitan area (Dallas and Fort Worth), Islamabad– Rawalpindi metropolitan area (Islamabad and Rawalpindi), the Rhine-Ruhr in Germany and the Randstad in the Netherlands. • Done by Charumathi, Gagana, Shreya, Anushri
