MIT LCAU spent a year reviewing 500 publications from the last half-century, culminating in a Future of Suburbia exhibition, a conference at MIT's Media Lab, and this compilation of 52 essays by 74 authors from 20 different fields.
Infinite Suburbia is the culmination of the MIT Norman B. Leventhal Center for Advanced Urbanism’s year-long study of the future of suburban development. Following extensive research, an exhibition, and aconference at MIT’s Media Lab, this groundbreaking collection presents fifty-two essays by seventy-four authors from twenty different fields, including, but not limited to, design, architecture, landscape, planning, history, demographics, social justice, familial trends, policy, energy, mobility, health, environment, economics, and applied and future technologies. This exhaustive compilation is richly illustrated with a wealth of photography, aerial drone shots, drawings, plans, diagrams, charts, maps, and archival materials, making it the definitive statement on suburbia at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
