Abstract
Nowadays in many European cities, the authorities are taking steps to restrict and even ban car traffic. The reason is not even ecological, but in the simple impossibility of using a car in the city due to constant difficulties in movement. The article describes the principles of Soviet disurbanism, which predicted such a situation as early as the late 1920s, and offered a way out of it. The ideas of disurbanism, perceived as utopia (and partly the former utopia), came to the United States absolutely independently - Frank Lloyd Wright, and then Homer Hoyt, finally formulated the idea of a dispersed city. This idea predetermined the birth of the American suburb, which today is the main place to live in large American cities. The article describes the history of construction and features of one of the most famous suburbs - Levittown (New York), which became the prototype for many similar residential areas throughout the country. The paper reveals the reasons for its shortcomings and limitations that were overcome during the housing construction of several other American cities (in particular, Houston), which led to their sustainable development and growth.
