The Suburbs

• Younger buildings than in the middle of the city
• The street pattern is made up of crescents and cul-de-sacs (dead ends); this slows down traffic to make the streets safer
• More detached and semi-detached houses; as the land is less expensive people have gardens
• Less factories than the inner city
• More open space and parks
• Many people commute from here to work in shops and offices in the C.B.D.
• Less pollution than the centre of the city
