Paper Abstract:
In this research paper examine suburb development in America during various eras throughout history. More specifically, the research will compare common suburban developments via a set of criteria to determine if and how development has changed over time. This criterion will include development form, zoning or land-use, housing typologies, proximity to needs, as well as a few select contemporary quantitative performance analytics. Historic time frames are broken down into six distinct eras in order to establish base years for historic analysis. Finally, I will present the findings and how they relate to our current development trends as well as how they could influence future development strategies.
