by Kheir Al-Kodmany
Part of the Design and the Built Environment series
Hardback
Description
Much of the anticipated future growth in the United States will take place in suburbia.
The critical 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 identifies 10 spatial patterns in which tall buildings have been integrated into the American suburbs.
The study concludes that the Tall Building and Transit-Oriented-Development (TB-TOD) model is the most appropriate to promote sustainable suburbanism.
The findings are based on analyzing over 300 projects in 24 suburban communities within three major metropolitan areas including: Washington, DC, Miami, Florida, and Chicago, Illinois.
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.
