Gammage & Burnham founding member Grady Gammage, Jr. was a featured contributor in a recent real estate article on the Cleveland.com media website. The article is titled “Experts Weight in about our future living environments.” The article discusses the question of whether or not “American suburbs with mostly single-family houses are dinosaurs or whether they will continue to flourish despite the more recent tend to move to cities with multi-family homes.”
Grady is quoted as saying: “One of the sanest looks at our suburbs is found in The Future of the Suburban City: Lessons from Sustaining Phoenix by Grady Gammage Jr., (Island Press). Gammage first offers a practical viewpoint: “Even if there were strong evidence that Americans are ending their centuries-long love affair with single-family homes, there are simply too many houses built since WW II to be abandoned. The number may approach 100 million. Even for those who see the suburbanization of America as a mistake, the embedded materials, energy and investment in so many houses deserve a measure of respect.”
