suburbanization
- The establishment of residential communities on the outskirts of a city. In the United States, many suburbs were created after World War II , during a period of tremendous growth in population and industry. Suburban dwellers typically work in the cities but raise their families in a less-congested, safer, and more relaxed atmosphere. Especially in the United States, suburbanization often is associated with the sprawl of population.
