Document Summary
35 million people in 1950, 77 million in 1970, 140 million in 2000, people lived in. By 2030, twice as much land will be urbanized as in 2000, most of which is non- central/peripheral. The growth in the downtown urban sections of the cities are not growing in population, but rather growing in the surrounding peripheral areas, e. g. the suburban. Suburb: a town or other area where people live in houses near a larger city. A smaller community adjacent to or within commuting distance of a city. This implies that the existence of the suburbs is reliant of the existence of the city. Suburbs can vary from being more country with more spaces in between spots or more urban. Suburbanization: a process whereby people housing, industry, commerce, and retailing spread out beyond traditional urban areas, forming dispersed landscapes that are still connected to cities by commuting. Presents the foundational argument about the causes and consequences of suburbanization.
