Preferred term

suburbanization  

Definition

  • Suburbanization can be viewed as the decentralization of the city and the town, and decentralization has been a feature of urban life for as long as there have been towns and cities. A variety of causes explain suburbanization, but social and technological determinants are particularly significant and are emphasized in this entry.
