A brand-new collection of 32 case studies that further demonstrate
the retrofitting of suburbia This amply-illustrated book, second in
a series, documents how defunct shopping malls, parking lots, and
the past century's other obsolete suburban development patterns are
being retrofitted to address current urgent challenges they weren't
designed for: improving public health, increasing resilience in the
face of climate change, leveraging social capital for equity,
supporting an aging society, competing for jobs, and disrupting
automobile dependence. Case Studies in Retrofitting Suburbia: Urban
Design Strategies for Urgent Challenges provides summaries, data,
and references on how these challenges manifest in suburbia and
discussion of successful urban design strategies to address them in
Part I. Part II documents how innovative design strategies are
implemented in a range of northern American contexts and market
conditions. From modest interventions with big ripple effects to
ambitious do-overs, examples of redevelopment, reinhabitation, and
regreening of changing suburban places from coast to coast are
described in depth in 32 brand new case studies. Written by the
authors of the highly influential Retrofitting Suburbia: Urban
Design Solutions for Redesigning Suburbs Demonstrates changes that
can and already have been realized in suburbia by focusing on case
studies of retrofitted suburban places Illustrated in full-color
with photos, maps, plans, and diagrams Full of replicable lessons
and creative responses to ongoing problems and potentials with
conventional suburban form, Case Studies in Retrofitting Suburbia:
Urban Design Strategies for Urgent Challenges is an important book
for students and professionals involved in urban design,
architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, development,
civil engineering, public health, public policy, and governance.
Most of all, it is intended as a useful guide for anyone who seeks
to inspire revitalization, justice, and shared prosperity in places
they know and care about.
