Axial Growth Theory

Urban and suburban growth and development that tends to follow major highways and roads. For instance, if a new highway or interstate is put through town north to south, development will spring up alongside it.

Critics have said that axial growth tends to promote "star-shaped cities" with prongs of growth that have sprung up along major roads leading into and out of the city.
