Communities -Rural, Urban and Suburban Cheri Hallifax Turman
Urban • Urban communities are cities. • There are lots of people living close together in a small amount of space. • There is not very much open space or natural areas.
Urban • Transportation • People often take the bus, train, taxis or walk
Urban • Architecture • Buildings in urban communities are often very tall. • Some buildings are so tall they seem to touch the sky. • These are called “Skyscrapers”.
Rural • Rural communities are called “the country” or farmland. • There are fewer people, more spread out from one another. • There is lots of open space and natural areas.
Rural • Transportation • People usually must drive to places they need to visit, because it is too far to walk. • Sometimes the roads are not paved, so people need special vehicles, like pick-up trucks. • Farms have special types of vehicles, such as tractors.
Rural • Architecture • Buildings in rural communities are more spread out than in urban ones. • It is not unusual to find only a few buildings spread out over large distances.
Suburban • Suburban communities are usually close to, but not in, cities. • There are fewer people than in urban communities, but many more than in rural communities. • Houses are often in neighborhoods and many people have yards. • There are many natural areas.
Suburban • Transportation • People in the suburbs often drive, but sometimes walk or take the bus. • Sometimes people will take trains into the city.
Suburban • Architecture • Often, homes in suburban communities have only one family living in them. • Sometimes families live in apartments. They are not skyscrapers.
Children • Urban, Rural and Suburban Children all love to: • Play • Laugh • Have fun
