June Williamson shows that suburbs aren't destined to remain filled with strip malls and excess parking lots; they can be reinvigorated through inventive design. Drawing on award-winning design ideas for revitalizing Long Island, she offers valuable models not only for U.S. suburbs, but also those emerging elsewhere with global urbanization. Williamson argues that suburbia has historically been a site of great experimentation and is currently primed for exciting changes. Today, dead malls, aging office parks, and blighted apartment complexes are being retrofitted into walkable, sustainable communities. Williamson shows how to expand this trend, highlighting promising design strategies and tactics. She provides a broad vision of suburban reform based on the best schemes submitted in Long Island's highly successful "Build a Better Burb" competition. Many of the design ideas and plans operate at a regional scale, tackling systems such as transit, aquifer protection, and power generation. While some seek to fundamentally transform development patterns, others work with existing infrastructure to create mixed-use, shared networks. Designing Suburban Futures offers concrete but visionary strategies to take the sprawl out of suburbia, creating a vibrant, new suburban form. It will be especially useful for urban designers, architects, landscape architects, land use planners, local policymakers and NGOs, citizen activists, students of urban design, planning, architecture, and landscape architecture. 606 $aEcology 606 $aArchitecture 606 $aSociology, Urban 606 $aUrban ecology (Biology) 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aEnvironmental Sciences 606 $aCities, Countries, Regions 606 $aUrban Sociology 606 $aUrban Ecology 606 $aHuman Geography 606 $aArchitecture 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aArchitecture. 615 0$aSociology, Urban. 615 0$aUrban ecology (Biology) 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 14$aEnvironmental Sciences. 615 24$aCities, Countries, Regions. 615 24$aUrban Sociology. 615 24$aUrban Ecology. 615 24$aHuman Geography. 615 24$aArchitecture. 676 $a307.740973 700 $aWilliamson$b June$0721589 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910437953703321 996 $aDesigning suburban futures$92487037 997 $aUNINA
