Suburb

=== Africa ===
Following the growth of the middle class due to African industrialization, the development of middle class suburbs has boomed since the beginning of the 1990s, particularly in cities such as [[Cairo]], [[Nairobi]], [[Johannesburg]], and [[Lagos]].

In an illustrative case of South Africa, [[Reconstruction and Development Programme|RDP]] housing has been built. In much of [[Soweto]], many houses are American in appearance, but are smaller, and often consist of a kitchen and living room, two or three bedrooms, and a bathroom. However, there are more affluent neighborhoods, more comparable to American suburbs, particularly east of the [[FNB Stadium|FNB ("Soccer City") Stadium]] and south of the city in areas like Eikenhof, where the "Eye of Africa" planned community exists.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://eyeofafrica.co.za |title=Eye of Africa |website=Eyeofafrica.co.za |date=2021 |access-date=2021-10-09 }}</ref> This master-planned community is nearly indistinguishable from the most amenity-rich resort-style American suburbs in Florida, Arizona, and California, complete with a golf course, resort pool, [[equestrian facility]], 24-hour staffed gates, gym, and BMX track, as well as several tennis, basketball, and volleyball courts.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://eyeofafrica.co.za/leisure-facilities |title=Eye of Africa |website=Eyeofafrica.co.za |date=2021 |access-date=2021-10-09 }}</ref>

In Cape Town, there is a distinct European style originating from European influence during the mid-1600s when the Dutch settled the Cape. Houses like these are called Cape Dutch Houses and can be found in the affluent suburbs of [[Constantia, Cape Town|Constantia]] and [[Bishopscourt, Cape Town|Bishopscourt]].
