Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the quarter century between 1945 and 1970, Americans crafted a new manner of living that shaped and reshaped how residential builders designed and marketed millions of detached single-family suburban houses. The modest two- and three-bedroom houses built immediately following the war gave way to larger and more sophisticated houses shaped by casual living, which stressed a family's easy sociability and material comfort and were a major element in the cohesion of a greatly expanded middle class. These dwellings became the basic building blocks of explosive suburban growth during the postwar period, luring families to the metropolitan periphery from both crowded urban centers and the rural hinterlands. Detached America is the first book with a national scope to explore the design and marketing of postwar houses. James A. Jacobs shows how these houses physically document national trends in domestic space and record a remarkably uniform spatial evolution that can be traced throughout the country. Favorable government policies, along with such widely available print media as trade journals, home design magazines, and newspapers, permitted builders to establish a strong national presence and to make a more standardized product available to prospective buyers everywhere. This vast and long-lived collaboration between government and business—fueled by millions of homeowners—established the financial mechanisms, consumer framework, domestic ideologies, and architectural precedents that permanently altered the geographic and demographic landscape of the nation.

Book excerpt: Shifting Suburbs: Reinventing Infrastructure for Compact Development- Suburban housing markets across the United States are evolving rapidly and overall remain well-positioned to maintain their relevance for the foreseeable future as preferred places to live and work, even as many urban cores and downtown neighborhoods continue to attract new residents and businesses. Suburban housing dynamics increasingly reflect some of the most profound issues shaping our society, including aging, immigration, economic mobility, and evolving consumer preferences. As a result, suburbs will generate substantial residential development and redevelopment opportunities and challenges in the years ahead. -Housing in the Evolving American Suburb- This title describes different kinds of suburbs based on the key factors that define and determine their housing markets. The report classifies and compares suburbs in the 50 largest metro areas in the U.S. and assesses the key issues that will shape suburban residential demand and development in the future.

Book excerpt: Today, we no longer realize public perception of home ownership in the United States is primarily shaped by government sponsored programs. In the 1940's, however, it was these programs that created a change in the options for where to buy homes. What was previously the country became a place to live. Starting with the upper classes of society, white Americans began leaving the city for the suburbs. Buying a home, or investing in a future home through the purchase of war bonds, was a patriotic duty. With money from the GI Bill, developments like Levittown made it easy for Americans to invest in this government "propaganda." Much like the "white flight" of the 1940's, numerous upper class families are relocating to now up and coming neighborhoods within the city; the direction is reversed, the effect is the same. If we take it as a given that this gentrification of the city is the first step in the "white flight" of today, we can hypothesize that the rest of suburbia is bound to follow. This thesis proposes that community based housing projects, located in the inner towns surrounding cities, be recast as a new alternative to the suburban detached single family home. In light of the 2008 housing crash, numerous Americans are no longer able to afford their homes in either the suburbs or the city. With rents in the cities so high, and bound to go higher with the current demand, a two-bedroom apartment may be all some families can afford. However, two bedrooms in city are not an acceptable alternative to today's equally unaffordable suburban detached reality. Through the government sponsored programs of today and a focus on community living, a new housing type can emerge to re-house those displaced by today's housing crisis.
