Traffic injuries and death are three times higher in suburbia than in the inner cities. Bev Sandalack said, suburbia life has really failed us in walkability and accessibility. In a suburbia environment cars are the most important thing. I agree what the documentary said, a car per person should be required before moving to the suburbs. Automobile reliance is considered as a disordered because people who are comfortable in commuting in their cars will have the habit of using them even for shortest distance. Sprawl is also a consequence of urban sprawl, the intensity of employment and altering it to different location (Burton, 2014).

Since there’s extensive need of transportation the essential items, cost of living in suburbs is constantly
