Quantitative Evaluation Method for Retrofitting Suburbia Practice
Aging and underperforming suburbs in the US, which were built in the twentieth century, are facing brand new challenges they were never designed for. Urban designers tried to address these issues by retrofitting the declining commercial properties and corridors. With numerous numbers of retrofitting suburbia cases, a method evaluating their efficiency in terms of environmental and social impacts is in urgent need. This study explored a quantitative evaluation method for retrofitting suburbia practice focusing on variables in 5 categories, general conditions, transportation, energy efficiency, stormwater management, and stakeholder preferences. This evaluation method was then tested on 8 typical retrofitting suburbia practices of different types. The results revealed that this method could effectively evaluate the environmental and social benefits of retrofitting suburbia cases, which could help the community or developers to compare and understand various retrofitting suburbia plans.
