Book Synopsis

Welcome to the Suburban Nation

Plunge into the pivotal exploration of America''s car-centric suburban phenomenon that has shaped the landscape of the North American continent over the last century. Suburban Nation stands as a prominent voice advocating change in suburban sprawl and the over-reliance on personal vehicles.

Suburban Nation is the brainchild of the founders of the Congress for the New Urbanism, Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, who are leading the charge towards traditional urban planning practices.

But this is no simple exposé of post-war planning failures. Instead, Suburban Nation presents a compelling rebuttal to the ''sprawl and crawl'' of residential development and transportation design that has marked America''s suburban spaces. This inspiring narrative delves into the multi-faceted aspects of urban design, public transit accessibility, traffic, and sprawl, invoking a collective rethink of how we liv
