  1. Gateway City Airport or Seaport that serves as an entry point to a country by being a primary arrival and destination area

  2. Bid Rent curve A line or curve that shows the relation between the rent economic activities are willing to pay for land (bid-rent) and the distance of the land from the point of attraction (such as the cent of a city). Farther distances require greater transportation cost and thus reduce the amount of rent that can be paid. The bid-rent curve indicates why rents, and by inference land values, tend to be higher near central locations.

  3. Annexation Annexation to a city" means to expand the city's boundaries to include more territory. Annexation results in the extension of city services, regulation, voting privileges, and taxing authority to the annexed area. Annexation to provide areas for future growth: Cities initiate annexation in order to provide areas for future growth and development.  This can be especially critical in cities with limited vacant, developable property to accommodate growth within its existing boundaries

  4. annexation Annexation to secure tax base, revenue sources: This could include annexation of areas with desirable ad valorem values, areas with commercial activities that produce sales tax revenues or areas that produce current or future utility revenues. Annexation to cover service costs for ETJ residents using City services: As more and more residential areas develop within the ETJ, these residents begin to use the City's streets, parks and other facilities without paying for these services. Annexation brings the added revenue to help cover these service costs.

  5. annexation • Annexation to protect the public health & safety: Cities initiate annexation to provide urbanizing areas with municipal services and to exercise the regulatory authority necessary to protect public health and safety. • Annexation in response to a perceived threat: This typically takes the form of annexation of property that is developing or proposed for development for some land use deemed undesirable or otherwise a threat if not annexed and controlled.
