INNOVATION SUBURBS
TAKING THE MAGIC OF THE CITY TO THE UP-AND-COMING SUBURBS
This study relates to the urban crisis we experienced as cities become more spatially fragmented, segregated and unequal. Despite advances in technology and architecture, social infrastructure, mainly in suburban areas, is degrading to a dangerous level. Innovation and creativity has played a big role in the development of cities, but also in the growing inequality and social unrest.
The paper looks at the economic and social structures that are at the root of this crisis. It analyses potential outcomes if current trends continue and with technological progress in mind, suggest tools and methods to regenerate suburban areas with vast and sustainable impact at a low cost.
