Suburbs in a monocentric city 1. Density, Mobility, Comunication, Energy 2. Density. I think that one good example of this are the suburb which are empty during the day because people has to move to their work and then return until night. Density in suburbs and thus in downtown fluctuates through the day. Mobility. Speaking about transport modality at rush hours and the time involved in mobility from one place to another also affecting density Comunication. For example, web traffic. Information send and received by users during day. Energy. Consumption in starting power, during development of daily activities and the production of residual energy 3. If suburbs are provided with all the services that downtown has to offer, maybe the city could have an homogeneous distribution, mobility will decrease and so the traffic and the heat island effect could slowly be mitigated
