Research Context, Methods & Goals:
This group of researchers investigated and wrote about contemporary form and meaning of the suburban in a range of North American cities. All cases were researched and written against the backdrop of the ‘classic’ perspective on suburbanization in North America as it was developed in the third quarter of the 20th century. This was the main commonality of the cases and the backbone to this sub-project. The purpose of this cluster was to stretch, challenge, subvert, or modify conventional understanding of suburbanisms in that same North American context in which it originated. What is the present-day logic and meaning of suburbanization in North America?
