"Postwar U.S. suburbs like Levittown, N.Y., now approaching its 75th anniversary, long served as archetypes of large-scale suburban development. Widely-circulated images and narratives of low-density, mass-produced suburban tract housing, segregated land uses, and racial exclusion concealed intra- and international variation in the built form, governance, and experience of suburban life. Today several factors are driving policymakers, builders, planners, and community activists to re-envision and redevelop older suburbs. This session will consider the prospects for equitable and sustainable suburban development and redevelopment at the regional, national, and international scales."
Associate Professor, Willow Lung-Amam will serving on the panel at Hofstra University as part of their symposium on "The Future of Suburban Health and Housing."
