Updated with a new Introduction by the authors and a foreword by Richard Florida, this book is a comprehensive guide book for urban designers, planners, architects, developers, environmentalists, and community leaders that illustrates how existing suburban developments can be redesigned into more urban and more sustainable places. While there has been considerable attention by practitioners and academics to development in urban cores and new neighborhoods on the periphery of cities, there has been little attention to the redesign and redevelopment of existing suburbs. The authors, both architects and noted experts on the subject, show how development in existing suburbs can absorb new growth and evolve in relation to changed demographic, technological, and economic conditions.
Retrofitting Suburbia was named winner in the Architecture & Urban Planning category of the 2009 American Publishers Awards for Professional and Scholarly Excellence (The PROSE Awards) awarded by The Professional and Scholarly Publishing (PSP) Division of the Association of American Publishers

CHOICE Review
Dunham-Jones (Georgia Institute of Technology) and Williamson (City College of New York) argue that the current ecological crisis makes retrofitting American suburbs an urgent concern. The need to treat decaying infrastructures provides the occasion to rethink the suburbs' bad habits--notably gas guzzling and water wasting. (The book ignores commodity fetishizing, the core of waste.) The first 14 pages both articulate the problems presented by bedroom communities and dying malls and outline the solution: urbanization of the suburbs with instant architecture. The last four pages offer a utopic 2050 tour of suburbs, witnessing the success of their retrofitting at the beginning of the century. Well-illustrated case studies make up the bulk of the book. These range from in-filling garden apartments and reimagining dead malls to revising Levittown and remaking Main Street. Along the way the authors offer useful how-to details: organizing charettes, dealing with building codes, analyzing sites morphologically. The book modifies the lessons learned from Jane Jacobs (The Death and Life of Great American Cities, 1961) about deslumming cities for application to the wasteland of sprawl. Like their great predecessor, the authors are remarkably optimistic about the possibility of solving the problems with which US communities are burdened. Summing Up: Recommended.
