Cars. Before the car people lived in or around the city center . After ww2 the men returned and the growth of suburbs took off. People built industry away from the center because the land was cheaper and there was plenty of it. Developers came in and made housing developments for the new families that needed places to live nearer the new factories and industry. Soon people wanted stores near where they lived and shopping centers were built. Schools were built, more houses, and freeways to connect everything and so people could get to places faster. The big department stores and fast food places soon were added and enclosed malls were built. All of this is the result of the car.
