Previous research suggests that walkability and accessibility are key components of sue­ cessful suburban life. Whether a person owns a car or not, the ability to gain access easily to many of the functions of day-to-day life on foot is evidently a desirable aim for the future sustainability of suburbs. Suburbs serve families with young children particularly well, with clean air and open spaces. The analysis shown here has suggested that the morphology of the street can have a positive impact on sociability. The social and economic success  of  Borehamwood's   town   centre is also due to its benefiting from a mixed customer base composed of local residents, local workers and shopping day-trippers. What seems evident from the analysis  of this particular case is that suburban areas have the potential for sustainable living, and living in a way desired by the majority of UK inhabitants.

 先前的研究表明，步行和无障碍是成功的郊区生活的关键组成部分 。无论一个人是否拥有一辆汽车，步行就能很容易地获得日常生活中的许多功能，这显然是郊区未来可持续发展的理想目标。郊区为有小孩的家庭服务特别好，有干净的空气和开放的空间。这里的分析表明，街道的形态可以对社会性产生积极的影响。Borehamwood镇中心的社会和经济成功还得益于其由当地居民、当地工人和购物一日游者组成的混合客户群。从对这一特殊案例的分析中可以明显看出，郊区具有可持续生活的潜力，并以大多数英国居民所期望的方式生活。

Borehamwood has prospered because of its multi-layered character, comprising a varied population with access to a variety of work opportunities. Whether or not Bore­ hamwood will succeed in the future is likely to depend on whether the poorer segment of the population has the education and skills training that will enable their social and economic integration. There is evidence to suggest that there is a growing traffic congestion problem in the town, along with other problems such as flooding of low lying areas. This is partly due to an increase in car use alongside an increase in housing density (in some cases on sites of old film studios and factories) without there having  been an improvement of the infrastructure or a transfer to non-car means of transportation. The spatial constraints on Borehamwood make this a particularly difficult problem to solve, and this is likely to be a problem with other suburbs undergoing densification. Despite these problems, Borehamwood serves as an example of how an architecturally undistinguished suburb can be sustainable.

博莱姆伍德之所以繁荣，是因为它具有多层次的特点，包括各种各样的人口，可以获得各种各样的工作机会。伯翰伍德未来能否取得成功，很可能取决于贫困人口是否接受了教育和技能培训，使他们能够融入社会和经济。有证据表明，该镇的交通拥堵问题日益严重，同时还有低洼地区洪水泛滥等其他问题。这在一定程度上是由于汽车使用量的增加以及住房密度的增加（在某些情况下是在老电影制片厂和工厂的场地上），而没有改善基础设施或转移到非汽车交通工具。由于对Borehamwood的空间限制，这是一个特别难以解决的问题，这很可能是其他郊区正在进行加密的问题。尽管存在这些问题，博莱姆伍德还是一个例子，说明了一个建筑风格独特的郊区是如何可持续发展的。
