Ellen Dunham-Jones: Retrofitting suburbia

Ellen Dunham-Jones

Another "suburbia is dead" bit, with some great ideas on how to revitalize these areas. Build transport hubs (bus/rail links), turn the hubs into faux urban areas, and turn everything not on a transit corridor into greenspace.

Suburbia now has more childless families than families with children.

Interesting stat, from 2007, that most suburbanites were spending 29% of their budget on housing and 32% on transportation. Crazy, if it is true
