Suburbs do not work because are too dense and they are totally separate from workspace. A distributed economy is like French riviera witch happen to be very well also today. You live and work here and there at short distance, so you do not need to travel for 30' to buy something, nor to go to school, but you are also not stuck in traffic nor being tied to public transports. A small personal example: back when I was living in a dense city a 4km trip means half an hour in many hours of the day, here a 40km trips means the same amount of time. In such timeframe I have access to similar set of services (from groceries to theater to hospitals and leisure etc) of a big city, with the notable difference that here there is no parking issues, no traffic, far less waiting times for anything etc AND more important being spread there is room for renewables. Actually my main car witch is now an EV eat MUCH LESS energy from the grid that the same in a city since there I have room for p.v. and most people WFH being the tertiary sector the most common set of works in the developed world. Not only: poor peoples exists both in cities and outside, but in low dense area they tend to live far better, it's easier to give them some small jobs and they are not too much to assist. As a result here crimes are far less then in all dense nearby areas. In the past quality of life was less than now, now quality of life in cities goes down, outside goes up. Just as an example I get a better connection here (2Gbps down, 860Mbps up) here than in a big city.
