Which of the following best describes your neighborhood?

[memphis]

For the purposes of this thread urban/suburban/rural refer not to legal municipal, but rather styles of development. I tried to get pictures from a variety of locations to be as fair as possible. Postwar suburb for me, though I would like to move to streetcar one day. Unwilling to ditch my car and parking is way too much of a hassle in Urban Core.

Urban Core:


Streetcar Suburb


Postwar Suburb


Modern Suburb


Rural

Postwar Suburb

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Rural.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Based on those pictures we'd be somewhere between urban core and streetcar suburb.

[Tender Branson]

There is nothing like picture B, C, D in Austria.

Only A and E and something in between like this, where I live:

[Vazdul (Formerly Chairman of the Communist Party of Ontario)]

Postwar suburb, with a modern suburb literally across the street.

So what are exurban looking places like Korneuburg, Baden and Eugendorf like?

The same like in my picture above, just without the cows, the lakes, the mountains and hills, but with cornfields and woods around them, like in Iowa/Minnesota or somewhere.

[Donerail]

Streetcar.

[opebo]

Not sure.. not much like those areas at all:

Typical Thai small city (around half a million)


Typical old downtown street view:


Typical old-town from above:


Typical Thai apartment buildings:




Shophouse style:









We do have loads of newer suburbs too, full of houses a bit like this:

Korneuburg is mostly like this (but in the city center more like picture A in the original post):



Baden is mostly like this (but in the city center more like picture A in the original post):



Eugendorf is like this:

Rural

[afleitch]

I live in a tenement in Glasgow so urban core I guess.

[dead0man]

post war suburbs

[Lambsbread]

A mix of options 2 & 3

[Torie]

Rather obvious I guess as to its category.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I live in a large village.

[morgieb]

Mix between urban core and streetcar I suppose - where I live has been around for a very long time, but it's not really so urban.

My old house however was post-warish kinda.

[GMantis]

There's not much of B, C or D in my country. Apart from A and E (though houses in Bulgarian villages are usually set close together), there are a lot of tower block assemblies, like this one:



My own neighborhood is mostly a mix of the above with something that could pass for B, though in some respects it's more like E.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

It's a bit tricky... Canberra isn't very densely populated and there really isn't an 'urban core'. I would say where I live is 'urban' by the standards of Canberra, it has the hallmarks of 'urban' - mix of young, monied, fewer families, majority of people living in apartments/townhouses.

[LastVoter]

I'll go with Option B, although there are some aspects of A.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Uh, modern suburb I guess. Though not as "modern" as the one in your picture.

I live in a tenement in Glasgow so urban core I guess.

The word tenement has an extremely negative connotation in America. Dark. Dirty. Old. Dickensian. I'm thinking some element of meaning must have changed across the Atlantic. Nobody here would describe their own home as a tenement, unless he was making a special point to emphasize how awful it is.

[Frodo]

Post-war suburb -the house I live in was built (or rather completed) in 1959.  The vast majority of the houses around it were also built at around the same time.
