My #SuburbanRemix co-editor and #Stantec's Urban Places colleague Jason Beske authored a terrific study: "Repurposing Retail Centers: Profiles in Adaptation, Repositioning and Redevelopment" (NAIOP, 2020) tinyurl.com/raooyh7 that frames redevelopment as community building

Not sure about the term “hipsturbia”, but I do agree that “suburbs with the right downtown-mimicking attributes can expect renewed attention from real estate developers and investors.” #suburbanremix lnkd.in/dj3VKzY
What my generation (Gen X) and the Millennials that followed us did to make shopping malls obsolete is seemingly being revived by Gen Z. Although, now it’s all about the experience/tech interface. We will see how this turns out... lnkd.in/erfnV2B lnkd.in/eMHjYnm

Stan Lee wrote this in 1968, the year before I was born. I wrote to him a bunch of times as a little boy, like many little boys did. Like his creations, he was my hero. He still is. ‘nuff said. #Legend #StanTheMan #StanLeeRIP #StanLee #Excelsior
