The Urban Land Institute recently completed a new report, entitled Shifting Suburbs: Reinventing Infrastructure for Compact Development.

The report discusses trends of suburbs, and their need to redesign and redevelop in order to focus on the demographic of this growing population.  It provides a number of opportunities for redeveloping, and advises the following:

• Build partnerships
• Take a comprehensive approach
• Use place management
• Emphasize public space
• Implement proactive planning
• Foster stakeholder engagement
• Obtain multiple funding sources
• Ride the demographic wave
