520    The suburban dream of a single-family house with a white 
       picket fence no longer describes how most North Americans 
       want to live. The dynamics that powered sprawl have all 
       but disappeared. Instead, new forces are transforming real
       estate markets, reinforced by new ideas of what 
       constitutes healthy and environmentally responsible 
       living. Investment has flooded back to cities because 
       dense, walkable, mixed-use urban environments offer 
       choices that support diverse dreams. Auto-oriented, single
       -use suburbs have a hard time competing. Suburban Remix 
       brings together experts in planning, urban design, real 
       estate development, and urban policy to demonstrate how 
       suburbs can use growing demand for urban living to renew 
       their appeal as places to live, work, play, and invest. 
       The case studies and analyses show how compact new urban 
       places are already being created in suburbs to produce 
       health, economic, and environmental benefits, and 
       contribute to solving a growing equity crisis. Above all, 
       Suburban Remix shows that suburbs can evolve and thrive by
       investing in the methods and approaches used successfully 
       in cities. Whether next-generation suburbs grow from 
       historic village centers (Dublin, Ohio) or emerge de novo 
       in communities with no historic center (Tysons, Virginia),
       the stage is set for a new chapter of development--suburbs
       whose proudest feature is not a new mall but a more human-
       scale feel and form.
