_________

When another city has good services, people want to move there. For example, families want to live in a city with good hospitals and schools. Sometimes people move from a city to area called suburbs. Suburbs are near the outside of the city. They are quiet and have wide streets. Suburbs have more space for schools, hospitals, clinics, shopping malls, and zoos. Families with young children like to live in suburbs.

New Experiences
