Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture - Urbanism (Retrofitting Suburbia)

The development patterns and property types introduced by post-war suburbanization in North America, and now expanded around the globe, providing access to the American Dream for generations. They also produced a range of unintended consequences including traffic, high energy and water consumption, poor public health, declining affordability, and rising rates of suburban poverty. However, as these properties age, many of them are being redeveloped, reinhabited, or regreened to address these challenges.
