Omari · Answer 1

The primate city depends on periphery or surround areas to provide resources.

The wealth and quality of education are usually unevenly distributed between the primate city and the periphery, favoring the primate city.

Slow growth strategies:

-Invest in growth of suburbs

-Provide incentives for larges businesses who locate outside of primate city

-raise cost of living to encourage people to reside in another region
