This ambitious project attempts to "take the temperature" of urbanization of the entire U.S. Conceived of as a Drosscape 2.0, we are collaborating with Toyota to assess and project the urbanization patterns in the metropolitan landscape. With the echo boomers entering prime house-buying age, we see this as an opportune moment to envision how the basic urbanization will proceed over the next few decades. We are more metropolitan, more southern and more western as a populous than we were in the 20th century. Will these trends hold? How will the complex of jobs, housing, and transportation interact with this new metropolitan landscape? These questions and more will be addressed in this multi-year research contract.
