What is suburbanisation?

Suburbanisation is the process by which people move from urban areas to the suburbs, leading to the growth of these outlying areas. This phenomenon often results in the expansion of residential communities, increased infrastructure development, and changes in land use patterns. Factors driving suburbanisation include the search for more space, lower living costs, and a perceived better quality of life. It can also lead to urban sprawl and changes in Demographics and economic activities within both urban and suburban regions.
