suburban
含义: Relating to or characteristic of a suburb — a residential area on the outskirts of a city, typically less densely built than the centre.
Suburban development expanded dramatically in Britain during the 20th century, particularly during the inter-war period when new housing estates spread along railway and Underground lines. The term can carry cultural connotations of middle-class conformity, respectability, and occasionally monotony — the 'suburban semi' (semi-detached house) became an icon of aspiration. Related words include 'suburb' (noun), 'suburbia' (the suburbs collectively), and 'suburbanisation' (the process of suburban growth).
