Population growth in cities

Suburbanization happens to cities that experience a notable population gain.

Definition

Suburbanization is a term to describe the growth and spatial reorganization of contemporary city. The growth out of the compact city is the result of the flow of population, dwelling places, and commercial and industrial activities to new low-density settlements. Suburbs rise out of the historically defined borders of the city, but they often functionally depend on city through commuting.[1]

Challenges

The suburbs are faced with social decay and gentrification.
