Excellent question at the end of the previous comment string, from “Tom” from Nashville.
-
“Suggestion for your next blog topic: Is it possible to “retrofit” a suburb, particularly the middle-ring suburbs that are struggling, to be more connected and urban? Can a ’60s-style neighborhood be made to behave like a ’30s-style neighborhood?”
You won’t be surprised to hear I have thoughts. But this afternoon I have other tasks. So I’ll toss out the question and let others take it on. Maybe Dan Burden of Walkable Communities Inc., can weigh in, or someone from the Congress for the New Urbanism, or some developer/designer who’s done a retrofit project and can talk about how it went.
See you later.
