After World War II, the growth of suburbs and the highway system was driven by several factors, including a post-war economic boom that increased disposable income and demand for housing. Government policies, such as the GI Bill, facilitated home ownership for returning veterans, promoting suburban expansion. Additionally, the rise of the automobile industry and the construction of interstate highways made commuting easier, encouraging families to move to the suburbs for a more spacious and affordable lifestyle. This shift reflected changing social values, with a growing emphasis on family life and the ideal of the American Dream.
