Description

This Story Map discusses the history of conventional suburban development such as tract housing, neighborhood design and the cultural norms of lawn care in suburban U.S. neighborhoods. It provides suggestions for introducing biophilic areas in these spaces and notes the barriers hindering their adoption. Finally, it details the components of a proposed biophilic garden design and an example placement in a local neighborhood.
