	Suburb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The urban core of the area lies in Norfolk, which will soon become the third-largest city in the region; Chesapeake is growing at a rate that will probably see it also surpass Norfolk in population well before the 2010 Census.
		In England this is displacing the now discredited notion of 'urban villages' but the credibility of both ideas is challenged by the increasing involvement of commercial interests in developing new hospitals, secondary schools and public transport services.
		In many parts of the globe, however, suburbs are economically poor areas, inhabited by people sometimes in real misery, that keep at the limit of the city borders for economic or social reasons like the impossibility of affording the (usually higher) costs of life in the town.

	Suburb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Suburbs are inhabited districts located either on the outer rim of a city or outside the official limits of a city (the term varies from country to country), or the outer elements of a conurbation.
		Suburbs have typically grown in areas with an abundance of flat land near a large urban zone, usually with minimal traditions of citizens clustering together for defence behind fortified city walls, and with transport systems which allow commuting into more densely populated areas with higher levels of commerce.
		Another example is Mississauga, Ontario, Canada (a suburb of Toronto, Ontario), Mississauga is the largest suburban municipality in all of North America, with a population of 636 801 and a population density of 2125.1/km².

		We begin with a brief foray into urban and administrative theory, then discuss the effects of local governmental structure on urban administration, and conclude by exploring several of the most controversial contemporary issues in urban public administration.

		Finally, we engage in a whirlwind tour of issues in public administration including public policy formation, policy entrepreneurialism, urban management, economic and community development, housing, segregation, and sprawl.
