What would you find in the outer suburbs of a town?

Normally land intensive activities that require cheap land rentals such as agriculture/ farming and dairy. This gives farmers the advantages of cheap rent and reasonably close access to market.

Normally as urbanisation encroaches into these areas increasing the property prices and making farming uneconomical.

Unsightly utilities such as sewerage processing and evaporation ponds, electrical generation plants and rubbish tips are also placed in these areas.
