Abstract

When regular steam ferry service between Brooklyn and Manhattan began in 1814, the first commuter suburb became possible. 1Suburbs continued to develop slowly but steadily during the 19th and early 20th centuries, thanks to transportation advances such as commuter trains and streetcars, the innovations of early real estate developers, and the urge to live in pastoral tranquility rather than in urban squalor.As automobile ownership became widespread starting in the 1920s, suburban growth continued, a trend that accelerated greatly during the second half of the 20th century.One in two Americans now lives in the suburbs. 2 In recent years, the rapid expansion of metropolitan areas has been termed "urban sprawl"-referring to a complex pattern of land use, transportation, and social and economic development.As cities extend into rural areas, large tracts of land are developed in a "leapfrog," low-density pattern.Different land useshousing, retail stores, offices, industry, recreational facilities, and public spaces such as parks-are kept separate from each other, with the separation enforced by both custom and zoning laws.Extensive roads need to be constructed; for suburban dwellers, most trips, even to buy a newspaper or a quart of milk, require driving a car.Newly built suburbs are relatively homogeneous in both human and architectural terms, compared with the diversity found in traditional urban or small town settings.With the expansion of suburbs, capital investment and economic opportunity shift from the center to the periphery.][5][6][7] Clearly, the move to the suburbs reflects a lifestyle preference shared by many Americans.Such a major shift in the nation's de-

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
