Suburbanism is a way of life outside city centers that is organized mainly around the needs of children and involves higher levels of conformity and sociability than life in the central city.

Suburbanism typically involves living in neighborhoods with other families and prioritizing things like good schools, safe streets, and family-friendly amenities. This often leads to a greater sense of community and a lifestyle that revolves around children's activities and needs. Conformity and sociability are also prioritized, as suburban residents often participate in neighborhood events and activities together.
