Instructions
What  makes  a  suburb  a  suburb?  Simply,  a  suburb  is  a  community    a  city.  But  when  you  picture  a  suburb  in  your  mind,  your  image  may  vary  widely  depending  on  which  nation  you  call  home.  In  the  United  States,  most  consider  the  suburbs  home  to  upperand  middleclass  people  with  private  homes.  In  other  countries,  like  France,  the  suburbsor  banlieues  are    with  housing  projects  and  impoverished  communities.  In  fact,  the  banlieues  of  Paris  are    for  their  ethnic  violence  and  crime,  with  higher  unemployment  and  more  residents  living  in  poverty  than  in  the  city  center.  Further,  the  banlieues  have  a  much  higher  
 population,  which  in  Paris  is  made  up  mostly  by  Arabic  and  African  immigrants.  This  contradicts  the  clichéd  U.S.  image  of  a  typical  white-picket-fence  suburb.
