Genesis of Suburban Forms From the Second Part of the 20th Century: Architecture and Urban Planning in Correlation With Cultural Aspects

The dominant spatial transformation which was indirectly supported by the social revolutions of the last century is the suburbis or the suburbs such as are widely spread today. This phenomenon, which has been studied since the mid last century, has been analyzed through different contexts and geographic areas often referred to by different terminologies, depending on local conditions which shaped specific regional types and ways of functioning. The research aims to identify the regional occurrences of this phenomenon and to investigate the conditions that contributed to their formation. Also, it investigates the connection with cultural aspects that have impact on the genesis of settlements, as well as the ways in which the settlements themselves change under the influence of spatial factors.
