Retrofitting Suburbia Paper

Based on a lecture from the University of Maryland, College Park, School of Architecture lecture series, this paper asserts "The city-form experiment gone awry is suburbia. There are at least three 'suburbias.' The first is found in sub-urban sprawl. The second is found where the old city is being changed into suburbia. The third is a sub-urban mentality that accepts and perpetuates the sprawl paradigm uncritically. All three need surgical, meticulous repair."
