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 live, commute, and interact with our spatial environment. Suburban Nation galvanizes a growing movement, calling forth developers, urban planners, transit authorities, and suburban residents alike, to harmonize our living spaces with the demands of modern, sustainable society. This tenth anniversary edition includes a new preface by the authors.
