Human beings, from time immemorial, have lived in groups of considerable numbers. They found that, in this way, they could support each other, achieving a better quality of life. In the beginning, all communities were considered "rural"; However, this changed with the new and shiny technological developments that arrived, with which certain areas called “cities” were established, epicenters of all commercial and political activity. However, and with the advent of modern times, cities have become much more than workplaces: now, they are considered as a home.
Cities are characterized by their incessant hustle and bustle and irreparable congestion; for this reason, some have wanted to settle in areas that are far from these. This is how the so-called "bedroom cities" were born, urban communities adjacent to towns with fairly good job opportunities. Some attribute to the creation of these residential areas the small, but significant, reduction of the urban population; although, among other negative qualities, they refer to these as the sample of post-industrial society, dedicated to leisure and consumerism. In general terms, it is possible that it can be confused with the suburbs, however, the latter are known to be in the city, but far from the center of it.
When settling in a dormitory city, the use of public transport, bicycles or private cars is inevitable; This is due to the need for constant mobilization, both to work and to acquire goods and services. In Latin America it is possible to find some of these cities, in countries like Argentina, Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Venezuela.
