Abstract
This chapter focuses on the development of intercity space. As a city expands, it occupies more agricultural land leaving less for the production of food and grains. This might result in more intensive agriculture on the remaining land or a complete change in the nature of the product grown, or possibly the abandonment of farms in favor of new residential development. Economically, it might mean that the nearby source of foods, especially truck and market garden output, would disappear and that cities would have to look for sustenance to sources farther away. A major reason for the invasion of intercity lands has been not only a rapid growth in population, but improved roads and transportation facilities. With rapid transportation, including helicopters and small planes, particularly the developing “vertol” plane that can land in areas of only a few square feet, scattered settlement is certain to increase.
