A few years ago, Ann and Walter Taylor thought it might be time to move out of their New York City apartment to the suburbs. But after months of looking, they became discouraged and decided to buy an old house right in t

22、he middle of Brooklyn, which is a part of New York City. To their delight, they discovered that they werent the only young couple to have made such a decision. Brooklyn isnt the only city in the United States to experience this kind of renewal. Charleston, South Carolina, has so successfully rebuilt

23、 its old central area that it now ranks as one of Americas most charming cities. The restoration of the old port city of Savannah, Georgia, is also living proof that downtown areas do not need to die.

24、iculties that todays cities face. In the 1940s, urban Americans began a mass move to the suburbs in search of fresh air, elbowroom, and privacy. Suburbs began to sprawl out across the countryside.
