In Print: Designing Suburban Futures: New Models from Build a Better Burb
This still-timely book makes a number of suggestions for adapting and redesigning suburbs in order to create more sustainable urban living patterns. It is really three books in one—a history of suburbia in the United States, a compendium of suburban redevelopment strategies, and a description of award-winning designs from an architectural competition to reshape Long Island, New York.

Resilience and Sustainability
In Print: Hard Constants: Sustainability and the American City
Sustainability’s future will be determined not by well-meaning public policies and urban plans, but by the “hard constants” that motivate us at the deepest levels, Tony Favro argues in his book Hard Constants: Sustainability and the American City. Shaped by our experience with democracy and capitalism over hundreds of years, these hard constants embody our persistent values regarding individuals versus community, conservation versus consumption, growth versus stability, and planning versus freedom.

Resilience and Sustainability
In Print: Planet of Cities
Planet of Citiessets an ambitious agenda—nothing less than formulating evidence-based rules for managing the worldwide growth of cities during the 21st century. These rules attack the central ideal of the urban planner’s conventional wisdom—the Containment or Compact City Paradigm, showing it to be unworkable and unrealistic.

Economy, Market & Trends
In Print: Sunburnt Cities by Justin B. Hollander
Hollander does not believe that the problem of depopulation is amenable to piecemeal, short-term fixes. His solution is not to invest in “illusory” job development, but to focus on right-sizing shrinking neighborhoods. Read more about Hollander’s book “Sunburnt Cities: The Great Recession, Depopulation, and Urban Planning in the American Sunbelt.”
