Reconsidering the dream : towards a morphology for mixed density block structure in suburbia / prepared by Ian MacBurnie for: the Centre for Future Studies in Housing and Living Environments.: NH15-816/1992E-PDF

"Prompted in part by nascent environmental, economic, and societal considerations, various critiques have been advanced which have suggested the desirability of a fundamental reassessment of the principal tenets founding the contemporaneous North American suburban planning model. While there exists no absolute consensus, it is generally agreed that the ubiquitous, land-consumptive, use-segregated, predominately low density postwar suburban morphology is no longer tenable"--Background, p. 1.
