Description: Describes a fairly new architectural phenomenon, the suburb, a community outside the government limits of the city but dependent on it. Shows that the development of a suburb should be planned to offer one-family homes, play areas, churches, shops, schools, public utilities, roads, parks, and automobile space. Discusses the influence of the population explosion, the availability of public transportation into the city, and the automobile on suburb development. Shows how changes in architectural fashions and zoning laws alter the appearance of the community.
