"Simultaneously, increasing population trends in resource-intensive suburban and periurban cities will probably take away access to much needed resources in depopulating areas, further exacerbating their challenges."

God I hate the suburban lifestyle

I second that, there is not a single typical american suburban experiment that has led to a vibrant city as a whole.

The more typical American suburbs a city has, the more increased tax burden and in debt the entire city has with less resource to improve in other areas; due to governments subsidizing low tax paying, low density suburbs and hiding the true cost of car infrastructure and pushing it as hidden costs as increased housing costs or products and services for everyone in the city. While making American car manufacturers profitable, while at the same time car manufacturers making poor decisions and receiving billions in bailout money from tax payers and then making the problem worse by making cars that are inferior in reliability than past decades, so that the car owner provides an additional stream of revenue to their service centers and don't get me started on subscription packages!

Of course Toyota, Honda and Mazda at least make cars that last and don't need service repairs; that's why they are popular in North America too.

Not only that, social isolation costs, less vibrant neighborhoods, less economic activity are more undesirable side effects as well.

There is hope with european suburbs and the new Tempe walkable suburb.

I am glad Omaha is addressing part of the problem, by making the urban core more walkable, streetcar, thus more vibrant and safer by paying the Omaha police well. Which all contribute in bringing and keeping more residents to the urban core.
