Document Summary

Suburbanization is movement away from cities to get a larger home (american dream), but commute for work can be long and harder to get quick medical help. However, suburbs form their own economic centres and become independent to cities they border. Exurbs: beyond suburbs, prosperous areas outside the city where people live and commute to city to work, like suburbs: ex: rochester outside detroit, michigan and woodlands near houston, texas. Urban renewal revamping old parts of cities to become better. But can lead to gentrification, which means when redone they target a wealthier community which increases property value. People there before are pushed out because they can"t afford property anymore and it leads to great inequality in cities. Rural rebound people getting sick of cities and moving back out to rural areas. People who can afford to leave the city and looking for simpler/slower life.
