Sustainable Suburbs: From Drivable Suburbanism to Walkable Urbanism

In this information-packed presentation below, Jim Houk, co-founder of architecture and planning firm, Bird Houk Collaborative (now a division of OHM) shares best practices in suburban redevelopment – creating suburban sustainability.

Jim, a certified planner and market-based redevelopment expert, reviews the history of town planning, current social, demographic and psychographic trends, and shares best practices in making places better for people.

What is suburban sustainability? It’s the sweet spot where people/lifestyle, the planet, and economic prosperity intersect.

I don’t know about you, but sounds like a great place to me.
