What factors fueled the rise of the new suburbs surrounding Americaâs cities? What were some positive and negative effects associated with the rise of the suburbs? What factors caused the suburbs to be overwhelmingly racially white, creating a 'segregated landscape'? Can you predict any problems this might cause in future years?

The History and Development of Suburbs
What are Suburbs?
Suburbs are the communities surrounding cities that are usually made up of single-family homes, but are increasingly including multifamily homes and places like malls and office buildings. Emerging in the 1850s as a result of a fast rising urban population and improving transportation technology, suburbs have remained a popular alternative to the city even today. As of 2000, about half the population of the United States lived in suburbs.
Suburbs are generally spread out over greater distances than other types of living environments. For instance, people may live in the suburb in order to avoid the density and untidiness of the city. Since people have to get around these vast stretches of land automobiles are common sights in suburbs. Transportation (including, to a limited extent, trains and buses) plays an important role in the life of a suburban resident who generally commutes to work.
People also like to decide for themselves how to live and what rules to live by. Suburbs offer them this independence. Local governance is common here in the form of community councils, forums, and elected officials. A good example of this is a Home Owners Association, a group common to many suburban neighborhoods that determines specific rules for the type, appearance, and size of homes in a community.
People living in the same suburb usually share similar backgrounds with regard to race, socioeconomic status, and age. Often, the houses that make up the area are similar in appearance, size, and blueprint, a layout design referred to as tract housing, or cookie-cutter housing.
History of Suburbs
Though they appeared on the outskirts of many world cities in the early 1800s, it was only after the general implementation of electric railways in the late 1800s that suburbs began to grow extensively, especially in the United States. Such a relatively cheap and quick method of transportation made it practical to travel from home to work (in the inner city) on a daily basis.
Early examples of suburbs include areas created for lower class citizens outside of Rome, Italy during the 1920s, streetcar suburbs in Montreal, Canada created during the late 1800s, and the picturesque Llewellyn Park, New Jersey, created in 1853.
Henry Ford was also a big reason why suburbs caught on the way they did. His innovative ideas for making cars cut manufacturing costs, reducing the retail price for customers. Now that an average family could afford a car, more people could go to and from home and work everyday. Additionally, the development of the Interstate Highway System further encouraged suburban growth.
The government was another player that encouraged movement out of the city. Federal legislation made it cheaper for someone to construct a new home outside of the city than to improve upon a preexisting structure in the city. Loans and subsidies were also provided to those willing to move to new planned suburbs (usually wealthier white families).
In 1934 the United States Congress created the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), an organization intended to provide programs to insure mortgages. Poverty struck everyone's life during the Great Depression (beginning in 1929) and organizations like the FHA helped to ease the burden and stimulate growth.
Rapid growth of suburbia characterized the post-World War II era for three chief reasons:
â¢The economic boom following World War II
â¢The need for housing returning veterans and baby boomers relatively cheaply
â¢Whites fleeing the desegregation of urban cities brought on by the civil rights movement (the "White Flight")
Some of the first and most famous suburbs in the post-war era were the Levittown developments in the Megalopolis.
Current Trends
In the United States more jobs are now located in the suburbs than in central cities as a result of the movement of commercial and industrial parks from the inside to the outside of the city. Express highways are constantly being constructed to and from major hubs or edge cities, and it is on these roads where new suburbs are being developed.
In other parts of the world suburbs do not resemble the affluence of their American counterparts. Due to extreme poverty, crime, and lack of infrastructure suburbs in developing parts of the world are characterized by higher density and lower standards of living.
One issue arising from suburban growth is the disorganized, reckless manner in which neighborhoods are built, called sprawl. Because of the desire for larger plots of land and the rural feel of the countryside, new developments are infringing upon more and more of the natural, uninhabited land. The unprecedented growth of population in the past century will continue to fuel the expansion of suburbs in the coming years.

March 1998 - Can't believe that it was 12 years ago! I graduated from Trent University in 1988 and then travelled extensively throughout Southeast Asia, Australia, Central and South America over the many years that followed. Returning to Bolivia in 1992 was amazing. To see where old friends from the exchange ended up was very enlightening. I have owned my own business (variety store & three baby products stores) since 1991 with my cousin. I live in Toronto and am seriously considering a move to the west coast to start up similar stores out there.
I would love to hear from anyone who was there in 1986.

July 2003 - Last night I received a phone call from CWY trying to update the past participant database. I quickly realized that it has been 17 years since the program. Tears welled up in my eyes after I got off the phone as the importance of the CWY experience sunk in deep. I have since traveled to 30+ countries on six continents. Much of this travel has revolved around my career as a Marine Biologist. I have specialized in sustainable development of small-scale artisanal fisheries and associated nearshore marine environments (seagrass, mangrove and coral reefs). I am presently living in Montreal and finishing my PhD in Marine Ecology at McGill University. I know that the CWY experience set me on a path to try and help make the world a better place and the time spent in Brighton, Ontario and Capinota, Cochabamba will never be forgotten. To all my fellow participants I would love to hear from you even if it takes another 17 years!

Mar 2004 - hey guys, Anyone out there? I'm living in Halifax but moving back to Winnipeg this summer. As you can see by my email, I'm in the military, I've been in since 88. I fly SeaKing Helicopters in the Air Force supporting the Navy. I've travelled around the world a bunch (around 30 different countries) but not back to Brazil (although I did go back a year after the program. I went with a friend for six weeks and went back to Varginha.)
I've seen and talked to Jane, Rick and Patrick a few times. I'm now common law with Shanna and we have three boys, Noah 31/2, Dylan 21/2 and Jack 8 mos. Having lots of fun. Anyone heard of or seen Linda, Nat, Pascal, Kerri or anyone else from the other group ???

February 2007 - I'm working as a midwife in London, On. My kids are now 12, 10, and 8. In my free time, I go to the yoga studio, do 'sweat your prayers'- type dancing or go out and listen to live music. Life is good.
---
May 2002 - After my CWY experience I went back to Edmonton and found lots of interesting work and plugged away at a university education (anthropolgy)(just one of those things you gotta do). Had a string of pathetic relationships until I came across the quote: "you won't find the right one until you are the right one." (Slow learner). Anyway, I now have a wonderful partner (together 10 years). We have 3 kids who were all born at home with a midwife. Life-altering experiences to say the least. I have since been very involved in the midwifery movement politically. As well, I have been providing labour support and prenatal classes for the past six years. I am now at McMaster University in the midwifery program.
I hooked up with Christine G. over Christmas which was wonderful and I'd love to touch base with the rest of you, especially now that I'm living in Central Canada where many of you are.
Talk to you soon.

June 1998 - I'm trying to figure out how to pay my student loans without having to resort to crime. Oh ya, I'm a temporarily unemployed economist, let's just call it freelance. I'm married with two cats (hey, that's one more feline than Arnold, I win!!!). I harbour some fond memories of the program and the good people that acted as participants and administrators, although perpetually getting lost on that mountain was a real drag. Hey compatriots, feel free to drop a line, anytime.
