While there has been considerable attention by practitioners and
academics to development in urban cores and new neighborhoods on the
periphery of cities, there has been little attention to the redesign and
redevelopment of existing suburbs. Here is a comprehensive guidebook
for architects, planners, urban designers, and developers that
illustrates how existing suburbs can be redesigned and redeveloped. The
authors, both architects and noted experts on the subject, show how
development in existing suburbs can absorb new growth and evolve in
relation to changed demographic, technological, and economic conditions.
