Document Summary
Some scholars trace the origin of suburbs to the booming expansion of london. The central principle was that london"s wealthiest members lived and worked closest to the historic core, while the poorest people were pushed to the periphery. The suburb, from a european perspective, referred to the peripheral slums, which surrounded large towns. Other scholars point to early examples of american suburban living in found in new york and. Many american communities were labeled suburban" before 1800. By 18940, most suburb were not distinct or recognizable entities separate from cities or small towns. A noticeable shift took shape by 1890. A suburban image made many suburbs distinct from central cities or rural areas (ex: brookline, ma outside of boston) Detached homes in a semi-rural setting (setting combined both attributes of city and rural living) New distinct floor plans (i. e. home designs) for family activities (ex: separation of living quarters for parents and children)
