    In the story “City” by Clifford D. Simak, it takes you through the struggle that the city was going through. Within the first two tales give you a great sense of when this book was published was during the year 1952. So, throughout the stories I could find that three pieces of direct evidence that Simak was trying to tie in the era of the book. The first is on page twenty with it saying, “The, city is an anachronism. It has outlived its usefulness. Hydroponics and helicopter spelled its downfall. In the first instance the city was a tribal place, an area where the tribe banded together for mutual protection. In later years a wall was thrown around it for mutual protection” (Simak 20). I found that what Simak is trying to deliver through this…

    Development of the Suburbs

    • 1348 Words

    By 1985, The United States of America had become considered a suburban nation. Today, half of all Americans live in suburban communities that have grown outward, surrounding the nations cities. The suburbs have continued and will continue to grow outward with the growth of the population and the evolution of America's culture. When looking at how suburbs developed, there are many arguable factors that played and still play roles in the ongoing move of human society away from crowded cities. Like any species thats population would grow at a rapid rate, humans began to outgrow the communities they had built and had a demand for more space to reproduce and live. The furthering in technology, especially transportation, played a huge role in allowing the suburbs to develop as large and fast as they did. However it was the matter of class that dictated who was allowed and who could afford to move out of the cities. As suburbs continued to develop, this higher class was responsible for the influence of federal laws that continued the suburbs growth. They were also responsible for creating the idea of how the American family should be and selling it, spurring an entirely new 'middle' class of Americans. The evolution of American suburbs began out of necessity, but the way in which they developed is attributed to the pull of a variety of social and technological influences throughout the past few hundred years.…

    Supporting Urban Sprawl

    • 838 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Many people are naturally attracted towards less developed areas for better opportunities. However, populations in these places are on the rise, and more land must be developed upon to support all of these people, creating the issue of urban sprawl. By putting a stop to urban sprawl, suburban communities will transform into cities. Smart growth promotes this transformation, since it still promotes development in areas that are already developed, which is how cities are usually formed. Therefore, smart growth prevents new suburban communities from popping up. In developing countries, many people are forced to live in suburban communities because there is physically no more space to house them. It is mainly beneficial for them because a smaller community near a city is better than being packed inside of urban areas. However, living in suburban communities is often preferred in developed countries because they offer more opportunities than cities. The continuation of urban sprawl is completely necessary so that the suburbs will still exist. Urban sprawl is more beneficial to the people because the suburbs that urban sprawl allows to exist are safer, have better school systems, and have more economic opportunities.…
