I live in London - which saw vast expansion of its suburbs in the 1870-1910 period. It's fascinating learning about the logistics involved - railway was king back then and so they built rail yards everywhere. Building materials were brought in from across the country by train and then pulled by horse and cart to the building site. Everything was dug by hand. They built a 5 mile wide ring of houses around the city.
