Regenerating Older Suburbs Edited by Richard B. Peiser and Adrienne Schmitz

Abstract

Regenerating Older Suburbs is a compliation of articles written by academics and practicioners in design, planning, and real estate development. The primary objective of the book is to propose a set of guidelines on improving public private partnerships aimed at regenerating older inner-ring suburbs. The editors posit that since the 1960s there has been much effort and concentration of resources towards the renewal of inner-city neighborhoods, and a general neglect for improving decaying older suburban neighborhoods at the same time.
