Suburbs

The highway system's effects on American culture were significant. The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956 was key to a period of dynamic economic growth in the USA. It also fueled the building of suburbs and a suburban culture - - which can be viewed as a good thing or a bad thing. Suburban culture had the tendency to segregate white Americans in the suburbs from blacks in the cities' inner core neighborhoods.
