New Suburbanism: Sustainable Tall Building Development

Much of the anticipated future growth in the United States will take place in suburbia. The key challenge is how to accommodate this growth in a sustainable and resilient manner. This book explores the role of suburban tall as a viable, sustainable alternative to continued suburban sprawl. It examines ten spatial patterns in which tall buildings have been integrated into the American suburbs. The book furnishes planning strategies that address the social, economic, and environmental aspects of sustainable tall building development. It also discusses sustainable architectural design and site planning strategies and provides case studies of sustainable tall buildings that were successfully integrated into suburban settings.
