Inner suburb

Nassau County, Long Island is emblematic of continuous sprawl in an inner suburb of New York City, United States.

Inner suburbs (also inner ring suburbs) are the suburban communities which lie closest to the urban centre of a major city. They typically have relatively high urban density and are often the oldest communities outside the city proper. Compared to outer-suburban and exurban areas, they are more integrated with the metropolitan centre; in some cities such as Toronto, they may fall under the same municipality.
