Suburbanization hurt cities by leading to decreased tax revenue as wealthier residents moved out, leaving behind a higher concentration of low-income residents who needed more services. This shift also resulted in urban blight as businesses followed residents to the suburbs, leading to increased poverty and crime rates in cities. Additionally, suburbanization contributed to urban sprawl and increased traffic congestion and pollution.
Suburbanization is the phenomenon where people and businesses move from urban areas to suburban areas on the outskirts of a city. This often leads to the expansion of residential neighborhoods, shopping centers, and infrastructure in suburban areas. Suburbanization is driven by factors such as desire for more space, lower housing costs, and a perceived higher quality of life.
One result of suburbanization was an increase in commuting lengths and traffic congestion.
The introduction of the automobile is considered to have provided the greatest impetus for suburbanization. With the ability to commute longer distances quickly and easily, people were able to live further from urban centers and still access work and amenities, leading to the development of suburbs.
Rapid suburbanization in the 1950s was primarily the result of increased availability of automobiles, construction of highways, and the desire for larger homes and yards away from the city. These factors, combined with government policies promoting suburban development, led to a mass exodus of people from urban areas to the suburbs.
The population of suburbs in the 1950s grew rapidly due to post-war economic prosperity, suburbanization trends, and government policies promoting homeownership. Families seeking space, safety, and the "American Dream" of owning a single-family home with a yard fueled this suburban growth, leading to the suburbanization of America.

Deurbanization or deurbanisation is the physical decline in the urban population as a result of economic or social change. Deurbanization is commonly defined differently from suburbanization because it describes a migration to rural previously uninhabited regions that had low population density, not to the outer or surrounding regions of the city as defined by suburbanization.
Some causes for residential suburbanization include poor environment (pollution, crime and noise in the cities), taxes (because of the new city services such as police, fire, sanitation etc. people could not afford the taxes and had to move to suburbs, this created "incorporated suburbs" so the city could not take over), and the Jeffersonian ideal which was a single-family home.
