After World War II, in a time that would later be called the Postwar Era, home ownership was at an all time high. Families began to settle down in areas, which had begun to be called the suburbs. There was a new economic climate in the air after the war, and people were much more able to realize the dream of homeownership. The American dream became to live in suburbia, and people thought that once there, they had finally made it in life. The message to aspiring young families across the nation was clear: go to suburbia and build your dream.
The substantial increase in population due to immigration that occurs during this time goes on to affect the nation in positive and negative ways. Some of the adverse affects of such a rapid growth in population were overcrowding in cities, lack of jobs, and occasional food shortages. But the hard working spirit and work ethic that the immigrants brought, along with a determined will to succeed, were an overarching positive were crucial to the country becoming what it is today.

Immigrant Power In the early 20th century the Untied States ports were inundated with immigrants from all over the world. The new immigrants, many from Eastern European countries, come to this new world with only their dreams of a better life and the clothes on their back. America promised immigrants high wages and a chance to start a new life of hope for themselves and their family. Upton Sinclair in The Jungle (1906) argues that immigration in the late 19th century and early 20th century influenced city expansion and education reforms though educational movements and union activities. Immigration would form great history with the United States through the labor force.

While Julius Caesar was dictator, he made a lot of notable changes to the empire. “One of the initial crises with which Caesar had to deal with was a lot ofdebt in Rome, especially after the Civil War when lenders demanded that their loans be repayed and the rest of the economy collapsed.” (Gelzer 94) Since Caesar was a creative thinker he improvised a way to get the economy up by making people repay their loans at the property’s “pre-war” value. This strategy would end up working and the economy went right back up to where it was supposed to be. Caesar put into place the construction of new public buildings which reduced the unemployment level and it boosted the economy. Caesar made many other improvements as dictator by making more jobs, boosting the economy, and helping out the poor and middle classes.
Apart from the social injustices, the progression and good far outweighed the bad. It was two steps forward and one step back while the economic effects were one huge leap forward and a just as big step back. There were more than a handful of inventions and discoveries that revolutionized American society, led to urban sprawl, made tasks exponentially easier, and were the centerpiece for recreation. Cars were mass produced and people decided to live outside the cities and take vacations more frequently. They produced many new jobs with the need for new roads since the American landscape was drastically expanding.
Today, Australia has been built for those who have been looking forwards a better life. Since 1930s, refugees have been coming to this country. However, ‘The white Australia’ has dominated the immigration policy until WWII, as people worried about being invaded by Japanese, the catch cry of ‘populate or perish’ was born.

American Architecture and Its Development Early American Architecture was developed through European colonization. As settlements began to colonize and form towns, the architecture began to change. From the seventeenth to nineteenth century, American architecture evolved from its vernacular form practiced by the originating country to a style that invokes a sense of revivalism that is seen through the designs of Henry Latrobe and Thomas Jefferson. Once cities began to flourish there was a need to facilitate them. By designing a practical skyscraper along with influencing the idea of the modern suburban house, industrial cities could function properly and people could move out of the overcrowded cities.
