• 20 Visions of the Future of Suburbia

    Inhabitat's ReBurbia Competition asks designers to envision the future of suburbia. The results include unusual forms of transportation, changing where and how we live, and repurposing highway medians and big-box stores. Check out the finalists looking to reinvent suburban living.

    Noting that 90 percent of metropolitan growth in the last ten years has taken place in suburbia, Inhabitat is looking for entries that emphasize efficiency and density, as well as those who come up with creative new uses for the current symbols of surbia: McMansions, cul de sacs, and big box stores. They've narrowed down the entrants to 20 finalists, with the winner receiving $1000 and a feature article in Dwell magazine. Voting is open through August 17th for the Reader's Choice, which will also be featured in Dwell.
