Abstract

Suburbs represent an integral component of metropolitan development, reflecting diverse urban planning, social, and cultural approaches to housing. They are typically characterized by residential communities marked by uniformity, mass production, and spatial monotony. However, the development of suburban areas reveals significant functional, morphological, and geographical variations, contingent upon regional and cultural contexts. This paper examines the typological characteristics of selected case studies through a comparative analysis of geographical context, functional zoning, and the socio-economic structure of the population. The research focuses on architectural and urban homogeneity, spatial organization patterns, and housing-related aspects. The primary objective is to identify and classify recurring spatial patterns, similarities, and differences in suburban models across North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia, grouping them according to specific typological features of housing.
