Much of the anticipated future growth in the United States will
take place in suburbia. The critical challenge is how to
accommodate this growth in a sustainable and resilient manner. This
book explores the role of suburban tall as a viable, sustainable
alternative to continued suburban sprawl. It identifies 10 spatial
patterns in which tall buildings have been integrated into the
American suburbs. The study concludes that the Tall Building and
Transit-Oriented-Development (TB-TOD) model is the most appropriate
to promote sustainable suburbanism. The findings are based on
analyzing over 300 projects in 24 suburban communities within three
major metropolitan areas including: Washington, DC, Miami, Florida,
and Chicago, Illinois. The book furnishes planning strategies that
address the social, economic, and environmental aspects of
sustainable tall building development. It also discusses
sustainable architectural design and site planning strategies and
provides case studies of sustainable tall buildings that were
successfully integrated into suburban settings.
