 * Group 5: Population and Urbanization **

Big Question: **How do lifestyles in suburban and urban areas differ?** More specific: How do lifestyle in suburban and areas differ in Europe?

Audience: I plan on presenting this range of research to my Sister and her boyfriend in France via Skype. - I will alter the research to fit their lifestyle and focus more on the Urbanization in Europe. - And, the differences in Suburban/Urban areas in Europe/France.

Reading Plan: 1) http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/03/your-money/03compare.html this article compares prices for living in homes in the city and in suburbs

2) this article covers concerns about living in urban areas and what can be done to prevent it

3) http://usj.sagepub.com/content/33/2/283.short this article is great. it covers the statistics and characteristics of people in urban areas, e.g. sex, age and career.

4) http://www.atypon-link.com/AAP/doi/abs/10.1375/twin.8.1.22 this article is interesting because it looks at what qualities in a person might drive them to the a suburban or urban area.

5) http://abs.sagepub.com/content/53/9/1304.short this article takes an interesting turn on my research and features health and internet usage among people in rural and urban areas.

6) Chapter 20 -I will read chapter 20 in order to broaden my knowledge of demographics, population, and urbanization basics.

I also plan on finding more research specific to Europe.
