How did the structure of cities begin to change after World War II? What factors were responsible for the change?
What will be an ideal response?
Cities began to expand into suburbs where people had larger houses and larger yards. Roads became more numerous and stores were grouped together rather than scattered within the housing area. Since World War II more and more people have purchased automobiles and have driven ever-increasing numbers of miles per year. Starting in the mid-1950s, we have built an endless number of miles of roads to accommodate the automobile. Cars and roads made urban sprawl possible because people could move from cities and still get to their jobs. People moved from the cities because the surroundings were not perceived to be pleasant. In the process of exurban migration, people moved residences and shopping areas and jobs moved with them. Because the causes of urban blight have not been addressed, these "new" suburbs decay and people move again.
