This extensively illustrated book, the second in a series, showcases how abandoned shopping malls, parking lots, and other outdated suburban development patterns from the past century are being repurposed to address pressing contemporary challenges they were not originally designed for: improving public health, enhancing 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 offers summaries, data, and references on how these challenges manifest in suburbia, as well as a 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 significant 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, this book demonstrates changes that can and have already been realized in suburbia by focusing on case studies of retrofitted suburban places. Illustrated in full-color with photos, maps, plans, and diagrams, Case Studies in Retrofitting Suburbia: Urban Design Strategies for Urgent Challenges is an essential book for students and professionals involved in urban design, architecture, and landscape.
