suburbia – מילון אנגלי-אנגלי
suburbia
n.
suburbs, area on the outskirts of a city; suburban lifestyle, culture of the suburbs
Suburb
A
suburb is a
residential area or a mixed use area, either existing as part of a city or urban area or as a separate residential community within
commuting distance of a city. In most English-speaking regions, suburban areas are defined in contrast to
central or
inner city areas, but in
Australian English, "suburb" has become largely synonymous with what is called a "
neighborhood" in other countries and the term extends to inner city areas. In some areas, such as
Australia,
China,
New Zealand, the
United Kingdom, and a few
U.S. states, new suburbs are routinely
annexed by adjacent cities. In others, such as
France,
Arabia, most of the
United States, and
Canada, many suburbs remain separate
municipalities or are governed as part of a larger
local government area such as a
county.
Suburbia (play)
- For the article about the 1997 film based on the play, see subUrbia (film).
subUrbia is a
play by
Eric Bogosian chronicling the nighttime activities of a group of aimless 20-somethings still living in their suburban
New Jersey hometown and their reunion with a former high school classmate who has become a successful musician. It's a slacker version of Eugene O'Neill's
The Iceman Cometh with the musician Pony's return giving the lie to the excuses the rest use to remain stuck in their meaningless dead-end hometown existences.
