Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first suburbs were built near railroads, which provided transportation to the city. As the automobile became more accessible to the middle class, people started to move to the suburbs in larger numbers. The GI Bill then encouraged returning veterans to buy homes, which further fueled suburbanization. Finally, developers figured out how to mass-produce houses cheaply, making it easier for more people to afford homes in the suburbs. Businesses also began locating in suburban areas, but this happened later in the process.
