Suburbs deserve a better, more resilient future. 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. Today, dead malls, aging office parks, and blighted apartment complexes are being retrofitted into walkable, sustainable communities.
Williamson 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.
June Williamson is Associate Professor in the Spitzer School of Architecture at The City College of New York and co-authored Retrofitting Suburbia with Ellen Dunham Jones.
