Types of Community

This presentation discusses urban, rural, and suburban communities. Urban areas are cities with many tall buildings and people living close together using public transportation. Rural areas have fewer people spread far apart on farms with more open space and people relying on vehicles. Suburban areas are outside cities with some open space and people living in neighborhoods using cars or public transit to get around. All community types have children who enjoy playing and having fun.
