Summaries

Summary Sentence: Reimagining suburban neighborhood infrastructure with Ingeborg Rocker, Kai-Uwe Bergmann, Ellen Dunham-Jones, and Ted Terry

Full Summary: How is the infrastructure of aging suburban shopping malls, office parks, and other auto-dominated properties being retrofitted to help their communities meet new societal challenges the suburbs were never designed for? These challenges include reducing auto-dependency, improving public health, supporting an aging population, leveraging social capital for equity, competing for jobs, and adding water and energy resilience.

Professor Ellen Dunham-Jones will show examples of how her research on retrofitting suburbia has prepared her architecture and urban design students to speculate on these questions. As a sponsor of several of Ellen’s studios, Dekalb County Commissioner Ted Terry will speak to the value of that work in his efforts to implement change in DeKalb County. Professor Ingeborg Rocker will then lead a roundtable discussion on these questions with Kai-Uwe Bergmann, Commissioner Terry, and Professor Ellen Dunham-Jones.
