INTRODUCING THE SUBURBS

We are exploring and researching the much overlooked subject of suburbia as a site for change.  With the national census stating that 86% of the population live in a suburban environment; it is time to explore the relationships between the suburbanites and their home environment.  On a personal level, the 20th century suburbs have been our hometowns for the first 18 years of our lives and we believe they have great potential.  However there is a need for suburbia to evolve, progress and diversify in the face of contemporary issues and we believe that this is only possible through local interaction and increased consciousness of the suburban environment.
