Pagliocco 1 Abstract In Europe or North America, suburbs are often considered the desired area in which to live and are expected to be the new form of a “city”.1 With this being so, cities are expanding their footprints at a fast rate. My stereotypical suburb is a formerly rural area with houses and great spaces separating them from one another. Along with this stereotype, the only transportation system readily available is a private automobile. However, after travelling to Copenhagen, I found that in Denmark, suburbs are where people strive to live. They are less congested than the city center and have the same great amenities that one would find in Copenhagen’s city proper.
