When houses are built in a suburb, it’s usually not the city that directly decides to build them. Rather, developers or builders purchase the land and then construct the houses on it. However, the city may have regulations and zoning laws that dictate what types of buildings can be constructed in certain areas, how big they can be, and what they can be used for. These regulations help ensure that the neighborhood remains safe and livable for the people who live there. So while the city doesn’t usually directly choose which houses are built, they do play a role in regulating the types of houses that can be built in a given area.
