Library Journal Review
According to Berger (landscape architecture & urban design, MIT), Joel Kotkin (urban futures, Chapman Univ.), and Celina Balderas Guzmán (Leventhal Ctr. for Advanced Urbanism at MIT), the vast majority of people around the world who move to cities are doing so to populate the surrounding suburbs, not to live in urban center cores. To test this thesis, the editors drew on the most recent, cutting-edge research on suburban design and development to explain current suburban migration and develop a more full-fledged theory for understanding the future of suburbia. The result is this remarkable collection of 52 insightful essays by 74 authors from 20 different fields including design, architecture, urban planning, history, economics, and applied technologies. A wealth of photographs, aerial drone shots, drawings, diagrams, maps, and archival materials enhance the volume. A tool called the Infinite Suburbia Roadmap arranges the book's essays into 21 topics organized around five themes: the drive for upward social mobility, polycentric metropolitan form, metropolitan economic interrelationships, the harnessing of ecological potential, and scales of governance. By including contrasting perspectives and offering a balanced approach, the authors and editors lay out a plausible theory that succinctly outlines the beginnings of suburban theory implementation. VERDICT Advanced undergraduates, graduate students, scholars, and practitioners of urban design, planning, and studies will find this work on the theories, structures, and principles shaping the future of urbanization stimulating and visionary.-Rob Tench, Old Dominion Univ.

Arising from the understanding that "suburbia is complex," this volume documents a project that was developed by Berger and Kotkin to examine the productive features of accommodating large populations in varied geographic and climatic conditions. Infinite Suburbia comprises 52 encyclopedic essays on suburbia from around the world. The editors initially created a "roadmap," the navigational guide to the book, which connects the essays' topics more intimately than a table of contents would. There are five major themes, articulated as "the drive for upward social mobility, polycentric metropolitan form, metropolitan economic relationships, harnessing ecological productivity, and scales of governance." The essays stress the need for moving beyond the vision of white picket fences to low-density cities, which enable residents to define and feel more connected to their space but not be lost in high-rises. Greenbelts and sprawl are discussed in the context of proposed measures of local governance and redefining of urbanism. The book is peppered with well-chosen graphics and illustrations, in both color and black and white. This publication provides a new view of the way people live, reexamining the themes of recent books and manifestos citing the negative aspects of suburban life. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All readers. --Lauren B. Allsopp, Arizona State UniversityNotas de autor provistas por Syndetics
