The term suburb is used to refer to those areas or spaces that are in the surroundings of a large city and that are characterized especially by having homes rather than businesses or other types of establishments.
The term suburb is undoubtedly very complex and characteristic of modern and industrialized societies. It is complex since in many places a space called a suburb can be highly comfortable, safe and almost perfect for family life, with less stress or traffic, while in other spaces the suburb can be a very densely inhabited place in which the conditions Minimum life spans are not present, there is insecurity, robbery, drug trafficking and misery on a large scale.
The phenomenon of the suburbs is very characteristic of the changes produced by the industrialization of certain societies and by the enormous growth of some cities. While before the Industrial Revolution that occurred in the 18th century there was a clear differentiation between urban and rural space, with it cities began to grow and advance over spaces that were normally rural. With the growth of cities, populations were more complicated when it came to finding a better quality of life since it was a huge increase in population in a previously much smaller space. Thus, the emergence of the suburbs around each city had to do with the search of many people for a safer and quieter space. In the case of dangerous suburbs, these are the most deprived social groups that have no choice but to move closer to the city but keep their living space outside of it.
The suburbs can have the same services as the city dwellers. In this sense, the typical American suburbs, with the rows of houses all the same as one another, with quiet streets and safe spaces are the dream of anyone who wants to live close to the city but without suffering all its setbacks. At the same time, today the so-called 'countries' or private spaces in which its inhabitants have contact with nature and with a calmer lifestyle without losing sight of urban comforts have grown greatly.
