Exploring Community Types
Learning Objective
I can name different types of communities (urban, suburban, rural).
Key Concepts
An urban community is large and highly populated with lots of people.
A suburban community is located near a city, but is not as populated as an urban community; some people who live there commute to a nearby city for work.
A rural community has very few people and buildings and mainly consists of farmland.
