City, 'burbs, or rural?

[sd6515]

East London is today an area of regeneration, with a rising population. The redevelopment of the Docklands area began in the early 1980s, and the Thames Gateway project is now extending regeneration further east, with the London Thames Gateway Development Corporation responsible for planning and delivery of the project in East London. London's successful bid to host the 2012 Olympics has kick-started regeneration programmes in the area, and is likely to have an impact on house prices. This has been evidenced in August 2005 where East London was one of only three places in England and Wales to have increases in property prices. [1]

I guess suburbs - coz it's not technically the trading centre [city] of london.

I thought I recognized this and then I realized one time when you said you were from east london i looked it up on wikipedia, and this is the changing face of east london section IDK how I remembered that how then and how now but somehow from weeks ago I still did

i live on the edge of Queens. Technically its the city [New York City], it is however one of the most suburban looking area of queens. Only a bus ride away from all the commotion though.

Sort of a mix between Urban and Suburban. I live on the edge of London (next town over is classed as Kent) in a slum. It's pretty densley built up, but there are loads of green areas and shit (South London is like this pretty much all over to be honest)

Want to end up in the city, then move to the burbs when i hit 35

small town, 44000 people, i'd like to be a bit in the country, have some land but still be close somewhat to a big city

I live in the 'burbs now, and I've also lived in the center of a city and in a rural area. If I had my preference, I'd live far, far away from the city on a large expanse of land where I could see every star in the nighttime sky and hear absolutely, positively no traffic noise. For now, I'll have to settle for where I am, but it feels too crowded and too noisy, even in the suburbs.
