Description:


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
