I'm not sure we need more suburbs. At the scale they're on today, they're unsustainable without massive subsidies from city dwellers. They're bad for the environment, bad for health, probably bad for the community in general, etc. This is not a two-equal-sides situation IMO.

But, for example, many groups in the US who have not had the privilege of living in the suburbs historically are now doing so given the opportunity. Single family housing is a status symbol and will continue to be. https://imgur.com/a/oOcq2K2 https://imgur.com/a/oOcq2K2 Urban3 has done some very interesting research into who pays for the suburbs. Guess who pays? It’s not the suburbs!! https://www.urbanthree.com/case-study/lafayette-la/ https://www.urbanthree.com/case-study/lafayette-la/
