Produktbeschreibung

Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, University of Kassel, language: English, abstract: This paper is on suburbanization and the resulting mobility behavior of the US-population. In the first passage, the term "suburbanization" will be explained as well as the corresponding reasons and consequences. In the following, the mobility behavior which is highly shaped by suburbanization will be illustrated. Thereby, the actions of some American cities to speed up the reurbanization, using projects concerning the local public transport, and to improve the housing situation in the long run will be examined. Furthermore, the fight against the reasons for the suburbanization, with the integration of ethnic minorities leading the way, will be thematized. This process will be explained in chapter four. The topic is still of current interest: cities and communities, but also the whole population are forced to change their thinking due to growing demands on the protection of the environment and species as well as increasing prices for commodities (especially oil in that context). Long trips to work, in many cases caused by the suburbanization, are no longer affordable. They demand a high time budget that cannot be brought into accordance with the new trend to an ecological lifestyle.
