As the suburbs are trying to stop the exodus of young adults for the cities
A few decades ago, the young Americans at the 20-somethings out of their parents ' House, located in the suburbs of large cities, going to University or look for work in major urban centres. However, after getting some financial stability and constitute a family, they eventually go back to the suburbs, where the quality of life tends to be better and more attractive housing prices.However, this pattern is changing. The latest data indicate that young adults are choosing to stay in big cities, building their lives there, forgetting completely the possibility of a suburban life.Researchers and politicians have been poring over the problems and formulated some theories that can explain the phenomenon. One of the factors that can explain the abandonment of the suburbs is the price of housing, which are similar to the prices of large cities. In this way, with identical prices and with more services available in major urban centres life becomes more enjoyable.The fact that big cities have good transport networks, which allows young adults did not own cars, is another of the factors of attractiveness of main cities. Also the existence of more services, shops, entertainment venues and catering has a big weight in time to choose the city or the suburbs.The lack of financial stability and employment are also theories that can help explain the abandonment of the suburbs. Without employment, young people choose to stay longer in major cities looking for work and also because here the opportunities are more in number than in smaller cities.Unemployment causes the young constitute family increasingly late. Consequently, the possibility of giving the big city for a smaller city will also increasingly being delayed, reports the New York Times.However, many suburban cities â€" particularly in the vicinity of the great European capitals and u.s. cities â€" are trying to modernize and become more attractive to young adults. This strategy of revitalization through the construction of more residential complexes with prices or incomes more into account, entertainment complexes, shops, restaurants and improve public transport systems, betting on the construction of cycle tracks.Although it is impossible to compare, to 100%, the two realities, the truth is that we believe that the phenomenon could be transferred to the Portuguese reality.
