The End of the Suburbs: Where the American Dream Is Moving by Leigh Gallagher

3.0


I liked this but I didn't love it. I thought most of the ground covered here was covered in [b:Happy City: Transforming Our Lives Through Urban Design|13330588|Happy City Transforming Our Lives Through Urban Design|Charles Montgomery|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1384736055s/13330588.jpg|18538238] and I liked the style of "Happy City" more. Still this is a good introduction to why the suburbs (built in a time of rapid growth and cheap gas) are not sustainable in the long haul. This did provide some interesting suggestions for what might come next, and what we might do with all those dying suburbs.
