ABSTRACT

Along with specific instances of sub/urban conditions, usually focused on individual buildings or projects, there are also urbanizing suburbs and suburbanizing cities that illustrate how sub/urban practices aggregate across an extended area. These locales are similar conceptually, but differentiated physically, producing a variety of sub/urban results at a range of scales. Two particularly instrumental examples of these aggregations are the urbanizing “suburb” of Uptown Houston and the suburbanizing South Loop neighborhood in the city of Chicago.
