  • Located on the outskirts of cities
  • A sea of similar or identical looking houses
  • The first official suburb offered two home designs for buyers to choose from
  • Some people described it as faceless, bland uniformity
  • There were no places of work or city amenities in the suburbs, it was simply a place for young families to buy a house of their own in a safe area
