[edit] Discussion
"Typical suburban development in the United States is characterized by developers' perception of the market and by regulations which control such things as the width of streets, site coverage, drainage, building construction, and parking."
— Howard Davis, "What is the Culture of Building", ArchitectureWeek No. 2, 2000.0524
