The expansive rings of outer suburbs that formed around major cities were decentralized and automobile oriented, an embodiment of America's postwar mass-production, mass-consumption economy. But alternate models for suburbia, including \"transit-oriented development,\" \"smart growth,\" and \"New Urbanism,\" have inspired critiques of suburbanization and experiments in post-suburban ways of living. In\u003ci\u003e Sequel to Suburbia\u003c\/i\u003e, Nicholas Phelps considers the possible post-suburban future, offering historical and theoretical context as well as case studies of transforming communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhelps first locates these outer suburban rings within wider metropolitan spaces, describes the suburbs as a \"spatial fix\" for the postwar capitalist economy, and examines the political and governmental obstacles to reworking suburban space. He then presents three glimpses of post-suburban America, looking at Kendall-Dadeland (in Miami-Dade County, Florida), Tysons Corner (in Fairfax County, Virginia), and Schaumburg, Illinois (near Chicago). He shows Kendall-Dadeland to be an isolated New Urbanism success; describes the re-planning of Tysons Corner to include a retrofitted central downtown area; and examines Schaumburg's position as a regional capital for Chicago's northwest suburbs. As these cases show, the reworking of suburban space and the accompanying political process will not be left to a small group of architects, planners, and politicians. Post-suburban politics will have to command the approval of the residents of suburbia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Mit Pr","offers":[{"title":"Sequel to Suburbia: Glimpses of America's Post-Suburban Future | Nicholas A Phelps | Hardcover | 9780262029834 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks A 1750513","offer_id":48882845909144,"sku":"1750513","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/91FP6Xld7cL.jpg?v=1776449025","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/sequel-to-suburbia-glimpses-of-americas-post-suburban-future","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
