Urban decentralization has been a visible countertrend since the 1950s, where people have been moving away from the central cities and into the suburbs, exurbs, and smaller urban areas. This has been facilitated by the expansion of private automobiles, highways, and faster transportation systems. The trend towards urban decentralization has led to a decline in the population density of central cities, while creating new clusters of commercial and residential activities in the outskirts.
