The future of the suburban citylessons from sustaining Phoenix /[electronic resource] :by Grady Gammage. - Washington, DC :Island Press/Center for Resource Economics :2016. - xiii, 191 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

1. Suburbs, Sprawl, and Sustainability -- 2. Just Add Water -- 3. Coping with Heat -- 4. Transportation and the Suburban City -- 5. Houses, Shopping Centers, and the Fabric of Suburbia -- 6. Jobs and the Economy of Cities in the Sand -- 7. Politics, Resilience, and Survival.

As a Phoenix native, the author argues that the suburban city, which grew up based on the automobile and the single‑family home, needs to dramatically change and evolve in an era of climate change. He shows how this is possible, and that many suburban cities are already making strides in increasing their resilience. Gammage focuses on the story of Phoenix, which shows the power of collective action -- government action -- to confront the challenges of geography and respond through public policy. He examines issues facing most suburban cities around water supply, heat, transportation, housing, density, urban form, jobs, economics, and politics. This book is a realistic yet hopeful story of what is possible for any suburban city.
