Description:
A brand-new collection of 32 case studies that further demonstrate the retrofitting of suburbiaĂ‚Â
This amply-illustrated book, second in a series, documents how defunct shopping malls, parking lots, and the past century™s other obsolete suburban development patterns are being retrofitted to address current urgent challenges they weren™t designed for: improving public health, increasing resilience in the face of climate change, leveraging social capital for equity, supporting an aging society, competing for jobs, and disrupting automobile dependence.
Case Studies in Retrofitting Suburbia: Urban Design Strategies for Urgent Challenges provides summaries, data, and references on how these challenges manifest in suburbia and discussion of successful urban design strategies to address them in Part I. Part II documents how innovative design strategies are implemented in a range of northern American contexts and market conditions. From modest interventions with big ripple effects to ambitious do-overs, examples of redevelopment, reinhabitation, and regreening of changing suburban places from coast to coast are described in depth in 32 brand new case studies.
Written by the authors of the highly influential Retrofitting Suburbia: Urban Design Solutions for Redesigning Suburbs
Demonstrates changes that can and already have been realized in suburbia by focusing on case studies of retrofitted suburban places
Illustrated in full-color with photos, maps, plans, and diagrams
Full of replicable lessons and creative responses to ongoing problems and potentials

Good Stability, But Quality Could Improve
I bought this bathroom shelf on Amazon and overall, I’m fairly satisfied with the purchase. It is sturdy and holds my items securely without wobbling. The assembly process was straightforward and didn’t take much time. However, I did expect it to be a bit wider based on the pictures, so make sure to double-check the measurements before ordering. I also wish the overall quality of the materials was a little better, as some parts feel slightly less durable than I expected. That said, it still does the job well and serves its purpose. It’s not a bad purchase, especially if you’re looking for something functional and affordable.

Sturdy and good looking.

Great shelves. As you’d expect - and mounting is just fine if you pay attention and hit some studs. I’ve got my wife’s plants on these for over a year with no problems.

Great shelves
Size: 16.5 Inch, Color: Rustic Brown
I loved these for my room, they were easy to install and super versatile, I love how easy it was to assemble them and how functional they became once I was done setting them up. They fit perfectly next to each other and I love how my room looks nice since I don't like relying on bookshelves or anything of that category and rather have wall shelves. They are really stable and I love how they look, they are also really easy to clean since I spilled some baby powder from my last waxing session and they clean up pretty well. Overall, just know that these shelves are super stable, durable and versatile, I love how many things can fit on it if you know how to organize or don't have much stuff to put on them; it's all up to you and what you need them for, so I recommend them 10/10!

Great shelves! Had for years!
Size: 16.5 Inch, Color: Rustic Brown, Size: 16.5 Inch, Color: Rustic Brown
I love these shelves, I’ve had them set up both ways, as a floating shelf and the other way where you get some side support. I’ve had them for years, moved with them, and they continue to work great. I’ve had a lot on them too weight wise (I love books) and they don’t cave in the middle. Great shelves and easy to assemble (I’m a newbie with a drill). Great value for the money, durability is great, adjustable, and great for what you get!
