suburbia

The flight to suburbia lessened the number of middle-class families living within the city.

往郊外的风行,住在城内的中产家庭减少了。

But empty driveways and unmown lawns are the least of suburbia's problems, according to Christopher Leinberger, an urban theorist and visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington DC.

据华盛顿哥伦比亚开发区的一位城市理论家和访问研究员克里斯多夫·莱恩伯格称，空车道和未修剪的草坪还算郊区区民的问题中最小的一个。
