Urban Sprawl: This term describes uncontrolled expansion of urban areas. It’s like spreading out cookie dough too thin—it covers more area but may lack depth or quality.
Levittown: Named after its builder William Levitt, Levittowns were planned suburban communities built in the post-WWII era for returning veterans. Think of them as the early versions of cookie-cutter housing developments.
White Flight: This term refers to the migration of white populations from urban centers to suburban areas, often associated with racial tension. Imagine a flock of birds (white population) flying away from a scarecrow (racial tension) in a field (urban center).
