Description:
This exhibition features case studies of projects that represent "suburban retrofitting": underperforming suburban sites throughout the United States that were transformed to new, more productive uses that are pedestrian-friendly and environmentally-sensitive.

Adapting Suburbs in the Twenty First Century opened in Atlanta, Georgia in conjunction with the Congress for New Urbanism Conference. Many of the case studies featured can be found in Retrofitting Suburbia: Urban Design Solutions for Redesigning Suburbs (John Wiley & Sons, 2009), co-authored by Ellen Dunham-Jones AIA and June Williamson.
