Suburbia is weird

 Suburbia is a type of urban form that has been prevalent in many developed countries since the mid-twentieth century. It is characterized by low-density residential areas with detached houses, lawns, and large streets. Proponents of suburbia argue that it offers a peaceful, safe, and family-friendly lifestyle, with access to good schools and parks. However, critics argue that suburbia promotes car-dependence, social isolation, and environmental degradation, by fragmenting communities, and encouraging sprawl. Additionally, many suburbs lack diversity and have limited access to public transportation, which can exacerbate economic and social inequalities.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in more compact and walkable urban forms that prioritize sustainability and community. This has led to the development of new urbanist and transit-oriented design principles that emphasize mixed-use development, higher density, and pedestrian and bike-friendly streets. As such, the future of suburbia remains uncertain, as it adapts to new challenges and opportunities.

There needs to become a better way of connecting the simple life of suburbia with the complexity and diversity of the booming urban form
