Ellen Dunham-Jones is back. And she’ll be in Surrey on Thursday, February 7 at the SFU campus.
How can ghostboxes, dead malls, aging office parks, out-dated edge cities and blighted commercial strips be retrofitted into more sustainable places?
Co-author of the award winning book “Retrofitting Suburbia: Urban Design Solutions for Redesigning Suburbs”, Ellen Dunham-Jones will explain the drivers behind successful built suburban retrofits in North America and illustrate the three principal strategies: re-inhabitation, redevelopment and re-greening.
Ellen Dunham-Jones is Professor, School of Architecture, Georgia Institute of Technology.
