New research from Kirk Brewer and Jill Grant examines patterns in the mix of uses and building unit densities in suburban developments over time. Their findings outline how market forces, conflicting regulations, demographic shifts, and local conditions may undermine efforts to transform suburban areas in ways that would make them more compact and integrated.

Their work Sprawling segregation or compact integration? The challenge of the suburbs can be found in Planning Theory and Practice which can be accessed online here.
