When cities/towns were first built everything was located in the center of town. Houses were built around the shopping and city hall. When the car was invented at first it didn't effect this very much, but as more men returned from WW2 the urbanization of America began. Developers bought land from the city center because it was cheaper and the young families had the cars to be able to move there. As the new homes grew more stores came and business also followed. The new neighborhoods had the schools, the young families, and were much more modern than the older homes near the downtown areas. It became part of the American dream to be able to own a home and with the GI Bill more men were able to afford the loans for a home and to begin professional careers or start a business. Thus, the suburbs grew.
