Here is a comprehensive guidebook for architects, planners, urban designers, and developers that illustrates how existing suburbs can be redesigned and redeveloped. 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.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout CNU\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E Organized with assistance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, \u0022New Urbanism: Rx for Healthy Places\u0022 will present new research and innovative techniques for incorporating health impacts into land use, transportation planning, and community design decisions at a variety of scales.
