Description

In this talk, 2011-2012 GCI Faculty Scholar De Jong will discuss the research and writing she is undertaking during her fellowship year at the Institute. Her project investigates how American cultural attitudes about urban life in the metropolis, reinforced by significant demographic change, are dissolving traditional relationships between city and suburb and producing new spatial and formal conditions; in particular, the project aims to identify new models for (sub)urbanisation.
