Sounds similar to here, except we do have the slums.  Often, the gentrified
areas have to put up with higher crime rates on the count of being located
next to "the slums."

The suburbs are most often cultural wastelands, as they are there.  There
have been a few experimental suburbs built where they build "older looking"
(on the outside) homes and also build little shops and office space in with
them.  The idea is to make them more "walkable" and more like a town than just
a suburb.
