Found this great article where I never would have thought to look. A Daily Kos diary. Go figure.
Suburban living embodies the compartmentalized, modernist understanding of man and nature. When we consider a suburban dwelling, we often see it in isolation from its social, physical, and environmental surroundings.
Urban living cannot be understood without seeing each urban dwelling as larger than the private spaces of apartments. The urban living space is integrated with the public realm in the same way that rural living is (ideally) integrated harmoniously with green nature. The city is like a palace with many rooms, but in this palace the rooms are shared with other people.
