Assess students' understanding of the causes, federal and local policies, and social consequences of suburbanization in the United States, 1945–1970. Scope includes postwar economic growth, veterans' benefits (GI Bill, VA loans), Federal Housing Administration underwriting, highway construction, urban renewal, and discriminatory practices (redlining, exclusionary zoning). Students should explain causal links, evaluate policy impacts, and analyze how suburban growth reshaped racial and class patterns in metropolitan areas.
