Suburbanisierung#
Suburbanisation, the growth of cities beyond city limits. Communities in the environs of cities become suburbs as their population and built-up area increases rapidly within a matter of years. Suburbanisation is due to the migration of people and businesses away from the central part of the city. In Austria, the new settlements are for the most part composed of single-family detached houses. Suburbanisation is a trend in all of the bigger provincial capitals in Austria, and in particular in Vienna. Infrastructural development, Commuting and improved cooperation between the central cities and their surrounding communities are crucial issues for Regional Planning.
