Review An important book on a subject that is home to the majority of North American citizens . . . Friedman's concept for the flexible suburb is an important contribution to the fields of urban planning, community design, and real estate development. David Gordon, School of Urban and Regional Planning, Queen's University Product Description The suburbs house twothirds of North Americas population and are the subject of much debate and criticism. Planning the New Suburbia explores this phenomenon and proposes ways to respond to the challenge of creating affordable, adaptable, and environmentally sustainable neighbourhoods. Avi Friedman surveys the evolution of urban planning and the the development of North American suburbs. He suggests new methods of design and regulation that would enable urban planners to conceive and inhabitants to adapt suburban communities and homes to their evolving needs, including changing family sizes, aging populations, or new working conditions. Rather than dismissing a suburb as an unattractive, impersonal sprawl, Friedman shows how they can be modified into an affordable, sustainable, and adaptable community. About the Author Avi Friedman is Associate Professor in the School of Architecture and director of the Affordable Homes Program at McGill University. He has won numerous awards including the World Habitat Award (United Nations), the Creative Achievement Award (Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture), and the Prix J.Armand Bombardier (Association canadiennefrancaise pour l'avancement des sciences) for his Grow Home and Next Home innovations.
