What is a distant suburb?

A distant suburb is an area located quite far from the central business district of a city or the main urban area it is part of. These suburbs are often characterized by their lower population densities, limited public transportation options, and greater dependence on private vehicles. They may also have a more relaxed and suburban lifestyle compared to the inner city areas. For example, in Sydney, Australia, suburbs such as Penrith and Camden are considered to be distant suburbs due to their distance from the city center.
