suburbanize

/səˈbɝbəˌnaɪz/ verb

To make suburban; to convert or adapt to a suburb.

Word Origin Suburbanize means to make suburban. Suburb comes from Latin sub 'near' and urbs 'city' — the area near the city. Urbanize is to make urban. The same root urbs gives us urban, urbane (sophisticated, city-like), and conurbation. So suburbanize is to spread the city's edge.
