Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Didactics - 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. Inthe first passage, the term “suburbanization” will be explained as well as the correspondingreasons 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, usingprojects concerning the local public transport, and to improve the housing situation in thelong 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 willbe explained in chapter four.The topic is still of current interest: cities and communities, but also the whole population areforced to change their thinking due to growing demands on the protection of the environmentand species as well as increasing prices for commodities (especially oil in that context). Longtrips to work, in many cases caused by the suburbanization, are no longer affordable. Theydemand a high time budget that cannot be brought into accordance with the new trend to anecological lifestyle.
