Abstract
This paper intends to examine the relationship between a sustainable urban redevelopment project with the typical urban form in North America. The contemporary urbanscape in North America demonstrates the prevalence of urban sprawls, characterized by low-density residential areas, big-box stores, strip malls, office parks and networks of highways. Recent trends in the United States indicate concerted efforts to achieve new spatial structures for urban areas that would be more sustainable. This study will explore the limits and potentials of such a project by studying the Atlanta BeltLine, a linear park that is currently under development in Atlanta. How do we situate sustainable projects in architecture and urbanism within the trajectory of modern architecture?
