Abstract: This is an examination of the present and future role of metropolitan areas in the fields of production and distribution and the problems that future growth will bring. Special attention is given to the implications of the outward movement of manufacturing activities from the central cities into the suburbs and open country beyond. The consequences of the relative growth of business services in metropolitan areas are also explored. These trends are related to the outward shift of populations in the metropolitan areas and some of the resulting problems are identified and discussed.
