Description

Up to date with a new Introduction by the authors and a foreword by Richard Florida, this book is a comprehensive guide book for urban designers, planners, architects, developers, environmentalists, and community leaders that illustrates how existing suburban developments will also be redesigned into more urban and more sustainable places. At the same time as there was considerable attention by practitioners and academics to development in urban cores and new neighborhoods at the periphery of cities, there was little attention to the redesign and redevelopment of existing suburbs. The authors, both architects and noted experts at the subject, show how development in existing suburbs can take in new growth and evolve with regards to changed demographic, technological, and economic conditions.

Retrofitting Suburbia used to be named winner within the Architecture & Urban Making plans category of the 2009 American Publishers Awards for Professional and Scholarly Excellence (The PROSE Awards) awarded by The Professional and Scholarly Publishing (PSP) Division of the Association of American Publishers
