This book was released on 2014-01-20 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, University of Kassel, language: English, abstract: This paper is on suburbanization and the resulting mobility behavior of the US-population. In the first passage, the term “suburbanization” will be explained as well as the corresponding reasons and consequences. In the following, the mobility behavior which is highly shaped by suburbanization will be illustrated. Thereby, the actions of some American cities to speed up the reurbanization, using projects concerning the local public transport, and to improve the housing situation in the long run will be examined. Furthermore, the fight against the reasons for the suburbanization, with the integration of ethnic minorities leading the way, will be thematized. This process will be explained in chapter four. The topic is still of current interest: cities and communities, but also the whole population are forced to change their thinking due to growing demands on the protection of the environment and species as well as increasing prices for commodities (especially oil in that context). Long trips to work, in many cases caused by the suburbanization, are no longer affordable. They demand a high time budget that cannot be brought into accordance with the new trend to an ecological lifestyle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the decades after World War II, the United States became the most prosperous nation in the world and a superpower whose dominance was symbolized by the American suburbs. Spurred by the decline of its industrial cities and by mass suburbanization, people imagined a new national identity—one that emphasized consumerism, social mobility, and a suburban lifestyle. The urbanity of the city was lost. In When America Became Suburban, Robert A. Beauregard examines this historic intersection of urban decline, mass suburbanization, domestic prosperity, and U.S. global aspirations as it unfolded from 1945 to the mid-1970s. Suburban expansion and the subsequent emergence of sprawling Sunbelt cities transformed every aspect of American society. Assessing the global implications of America’s suburban way of life as evidence of the superiority of capitalist democracy, Beauregard traces how the suburban ideology enabled America to distinguish itself from both the Communist bloc and Western Europe, thereby deepening its claim of exceptionalism on the world-historical stage. Placing the decline of America’s industrial cities and the rise of vast suburban housing and retail spaces into a cultural, political, and global context, Beauregard illuminates how these phenomena contributed to a changing notion of America’s identity at home and abroad. When America Became Suburban brings to light the profound implications of de-urbanization: from the siphoning of investments from the cities and the effect on the quality of life for those left behind to a profound shift in national identity. Robert A. Beauregard is a professor in the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation at Columbia University. He is the author of Voices of Decline: The Postwar Fate of U.S. Cities and editor of Economic Restructuring and Political Response and Atop the Urban Hierarchy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first full-scale history of the development of the American suburb examines how "the good life" in America came to be equated with the a home of one's own surrounded by a grassy yard and located far from the urban workplace. Integrating social history with economic and architectural analysis, and taking into account such factors as the availability of cheap land, inexpensive building methods, and rapid transportation, Kenneth Jackson chronicles the phenomenal growth of the American suburb from the middle of the 19th century to the present day. He treats communities in every section of the U.S. and compares American residential patterns with those of Japan and Europe. In conclusion, Jackson offers a controversial prediction: that the future of residential deconcentration will be very different from its past in both the U.S. and Europe.

Book excerpt: Gainsborough (U. of Miami) notes that while political commentators and reporters have frequently argued that understanding the suburbs is central to understanding contemporary politics, political science has largely ignored the relationship between modern suburbs and political behavior. She explores both historical and contemporary suburban political behavior, analyzing census data, public opinion, congressional behavior and party platforms to demonstrate how the connection between suburban living and political behavior has changed over time--and now has emerged as a significant feature of the political landscape.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second half of the twentieth century saw large-scale suburbanization in the United States, with the median share of residents who work in the same county where they live falling from 87 to 71 percent between 1970 and 2000. We introduce a new methodology for discriminating between the three leading explanations for this suburbanization (workplace attractiveness, residence attractiveness and bilateral commuting frictions). This methodology holds in the class of spatial models that are characterized by a structural gravity equation for commuting. We show that the increased openness of counties to commuting is mainly explained by reductions in bilateral commuting frictions, consistent with the expansion of the interstate highway network and the falling real cost of car ownership. We find that changes in workplace attractiveness and residence attractiveness are more important in explaining the observed shift in employment by workplace and employment by residence towards lower densities over time.
Download or read book The Bulldozer in the Countryside written by Adam Rome and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-04-16 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concern today about suburban sprawl is not new. In the decades after World War II, the spread of tract-house construction changed the nature of millions of acres of land, and a variety of Americans began to protest against the environmental costs of suburban development. By the mid-1960s, indeed, many of the critics were attempting to institutionalize an urban land ethic. The Bulldozer in the Countryside was the first scholarly work to analyze the successes and failures of the varied efforts to address the environmental consequences of suburban growth from 1945 to 1970. For scholars and students of American history, the book offers a compelling insight into two of the great stories of modern times - the mass migration to the suburbs and the rise of the environmental movement. The book also offers a valuable historical perspective for participants in contemporary debates about the alternatives to sprawl.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The existing literature on the relationship between the share of elderly in a community and the support for local public education has led to mixed results to date. One potential reason behind this is that the share of elderly in a community is endogenous, and it is very difficult to disentangle the effects of individuals aging in place from that of dynamic Tiebout sorting. The point of this paper is to carefully document the degree to which aging in place has occurred in the American suburbs, and to estimate the degree to which it has influenced school finance once the initial settlers of these suburbs were no longer the parents of school-aged children. We hand-match data from the 1950 and 1960 Censuses of Population and Housing to more recent data to link postwar suburban development to later school finance. Using a novel method for identifying the causal effects of aging in place, we find that the share of elderly adults who age in place is negatively related to the level of support for public schooling, and that this is particularly true for school districts in metropolitan areas where the school-aged population is more heavily nonwhite relative to the elderly population -- National Bureau of Economic Research web site.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the relationship between suburbanization and crime using census data and Uniform Crime Report (UCR) data from 1980 to 2000. A high crime rate might cause population flight toward suburban areas. At the same time, after controlling social, economic, and demographic characteristics, suburbanization might lead to a higher overall crime rate in metropolitan areas because of ecological impacts in isolated and poor communities. Thus, the causal relationship between suburbanization and crime could be reciprocal. While the majority of previous research has focused on causality from crime to suburbanization, few studies have explicitly recognized the issue of simultaneity or dealt with the opposite direction of causality---from suburbanization to crime. Suburbanization refers to a redistribution of population within a metropolitan area. It is theoretically possible that as a region suburbanizes, people and crime spread out proportionately, so that the metropolitan crime rate would be unaffected. In practice, however, suburbanization is not neutral with respect to income or crime. Because higher income people disproportionately move to the suburbs and lower income people are more likely to remain in the central city and inner-ring suburbs, I expect to find differential crime rates in these areas. Over and above this composition effect, poor neighborhoods may experience an independent and disproportionate effect on the crime rate caused by social isolation and neighborhood effects. High central city crime due to composition effects alone would not change the overall metropolitan crime rate, but higher central city crime due to social isolation would increase it. I use two methods to attempt to identify the effect of suburbanization on crime. First, we estimate a two-stage least squares models of the simultaneous relationship between suburbanization and crime. Second, to control for historical and urban life-cycle considerations that could affect both suburbanization and crime, I estimate fixed effect models on a 1980 to 2000 panel of metropolitan areas. This study examines how the spatial distribution of population in metropolitan areas has been affecting or has been affected by crime across several decades. The study provides following research findings: (1) both demographic and geographic characteristics play a role in explaining high crime rates. (2) Suburbanization causes crime after controlling for all omitted variables related to time and regional effects. (3) The relation between suburbanization and crime seems to be stronger for property crime than violent crime. (4) The result depends on the indicator used to measure suburbanization. (5) suburbanization affects crime rather than is affected by crime.
