suburban development

Suburban development refers to the growth of residential areas situated outside of urban centers, often characterized by single-family homes, spacious yards, and lower population density. This trend emerged in the mid-20th century as cities became crowded and infrastructure improved, making it easier for people to live farther from their workplaces. Suburbs typically offer a blend of residential, commercial, and recreational spaces, aiming to provide a family-friendly environment. This development has influenced social dynamics, commuting patterns, and land use, while also raising discussions about sustainability and community design in the context of modern living.
