With the increase of autos in the 1950s, the demand for good quality roads increased. The federal government passed the Interstate Highway Act, 1956, pumping $1 billion a year into the construction of roads. By 1960, $2.9 billion was being used a year. The construction encouraged urban sprawl, as more people could now live in the suburbs and drive the freeways into the cities for work. But it also marked the beginning of the end to the city as a livable location. The middle class left the city to live in the suburbs, urban neighborhoods were split into isolated residential islands walled off from each other by concrete abutments of the freeways.

Mercantilism operated as a push factor for European states during the Age of Exploration by promoting the belief that national power was directly linked to economic wealth, primarily through the accumulation of precious metals and trade surpluses. This ideology encouraged nations to seek new trade routes and colonies to access raw materials and expand markets for their manufactured goods. As competition intensified among European powers, the desire to secure resources and establish dominance further propelled exploration efforts. Ultimately, mercantilism drove states to explore and colonize distant lands to enhance their economic and political standing.
Borrowing money allowed individuals to invest in opportunities outside of farming, such as industrial jobs or entrepreneurial ventures in growing urban areas. As cities expanded, they offered better wages and living conditions compared to the uncertainties of agricultural life, particularly during times of economic hardship or crop failures. This financial incentive made it easier for people to leave behind the farming lifestyle in search of more stable and lucrative prospects in urban environments.
One reason that was NOT a factor in the postwar demographic change leading to the rise of the suburbs is the decline of urban manufacturing jobs. In fact, the growth of suburbs was largely driven by factors such as the availability of affordable housing, increased car ownership, and government policies promoting home ownership, rather than a decrease in job opportunities in cities. These elements encouraged families to move to suburban areas for a better quality of life.
