Why After world war 2 many people moved from the cities to?

Answer 1

They moved to suburbs because new neighborhoods were built. Cars are responsible for suburban life. Before cars people lived in and around the city center. They could walk to downtown, shop, and go to government offices because they were living near them. With the invention of the car people didn't have to stay so near to downtown so they began to build further out. After the men came home from WW2 they wanted new homes for their young families away from the older rundown parts of town, so construction companies began to build vast neighborhoods for the families and because they didn't want to drive all the way to shop stores were built to sell to the new families. Schools were built and eventually malls were created with movie theaters, restaurants, and more stores. Today, some cities have gone back into the older sections, restored older homes and apartments, added outdoor cafes, and having events in downtown so the lost downtowns are becoming places to go and be seen.
