Finding Space in the Suburbs
July 25th–27th, 2005
A two-day conference examining open space issues and opportunities accompanying suburban landscape change.
Finding Space in the Suburbs is sponsored by the Green Space Institute , Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning, Utah State University and the College of
Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences .
Conference Theme
Contemporary suburban landscapes reflect diverse economic, demographic and social realities. Aging first-tier suburbs are now embedded within large metropolitan areas, while newer auto-dependent exurbs continue to develop outward. As capital moves between urban and exurban centers, many older suburbs face disinvestment, while others remain prosperous. Landscape patterns are affected by these shifting factors. The purpose of this conference is to examine the effects of changing realities on the quality of suburban open spaces; and how access to quality open space affects the lives of suburban dwellers.
Conference Program
This two-day conference features invited plenary speakers, and peer-reviewed conference papers submitted by academics and practicing professionals focused on the varying roles, impacts and changing realities of open space in the suburban landscape.
We invite participants from a variety of disciplines including landscape architecture, planning, geography, architecture, economics and related fields to submit paper proposals on a range of issues affecting the quality of suburban open space. Topics should span the range of planning tools and principles, ethics, law, social justice, environmental impacts and economics including:
The design of open space in a multi-cultural and diverse economic region
The tools and practice of open space preservation and restoration in the suburbs
The economic impacts of open space in the development and redevelopment of the suburbs
The impacts of transportation systems on open space resources
Open space access, equity and social justice
The open space needs of a diverse population
Differing cultural concepts of open space
Capital mobility and landscape change
Density and infill development and its effect on open space
Regional differences in suburban development patterns and resulting
Changes in open space patterns
Patterns of development at rural/suburban urban/suburban interfaces and how this effects open space resources
Effects of metropolitan growth management strategies on suburban open space
The role of open space in the protection of water resources and quality
