Creeping Conformity

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the evolution of suburbanization in Canada, this book explores the geographical and social dynamics that shaped suburbs from their promising beginnings to their later stereotype as conformist and standardized environments. It examines factors such as migration, employment decentralization, and transportation developments, alongside government policies that fostered mortgage debt and uniformity in housing. The narrative reveals how these changes led to a growing cultural and physical distance from urban centers, ultimately reshaping public perceptions of suburban life.
