Postsuburban California: The Transformation of Orange County since World War II.

Refashioning place and new‐build gentrification: The material and symbolic redevelopment of Three Kings, Auckland

“…These neighbourhoods have gradually blurred the boundaries between urban and suburban differentiation, increasingly taking on the built environment form, function, and image of the inner city and entering into a stage of 'post-suburbanisation' (Johnson et al, 2019;Keil & Addie, 2016;Phelps & Wood, 2011). This post-suburbanisation includes an intensified built form within suburbia, with traditional detached housing starkly contrasted by an emerging sea of mixed-use apartment complexes and townhouses (Kling et al, 1995). There has further been a diversification in the function of suburbs; once a site of purely residential space, postsuburbs are becoming 'increasingly diverse hubs of economic, environmental, social and political activity' (Johnson et al, 2019(Johnson et al, , p. 1044.…”

New Global Cities in Latin America and Asia

“…The concomitant and necessary work of reconsideration was in many ways galvanized by the publication in 1991 of Garreau's Edge City, which showed that in addition to residential diversity, many parts of the urban periphery were being extensively colonized by economic and cultural functions such as business, shopping, and entertainment that were more traditionally thought of as being concentrated in downtown locations. In the same year a further influential commentary was presented by Kling et al (1991), who described the burgeoning community of Orange County within the great Southern Californian city-region as a postsuburban phenomenon that in many ways resembled a metropolis in its own right. Even in these early accounts, the sense of the deepening functional separation of the suburbs from the central city was becoming apparent.…”

Post-suburban arrival spaces and the frame of ‘welfare offloading’: notes from an Italian suburban neighborhood

“…In this sense, urban studies entwine migration studies when addressing ethnicity and multiculturalism, and the related segregation tensions occurring across urban areas (Musterd 2005). Over the past decades, suburbia and peripheries beyond urban cores seem to have very much become a potentially multicultural space (Balbo 2015; Kling, Olin, and Poster 1995;Saunders, 2011), raised from the ideological, cultural, and political 'hybridization' associated with the contribution of international migration to contemporary urbanization (Dear and Dahmann 2008). Such reflections lie behind the theoretical construction and the socio-political production of post-suburbia (Phelps, Wood, and Valler 2010).…”
