Suburbia. Living the American Dream

Bernadette Redl, who has conducted extensive research and published widely on the subject of single-family houses appreciates that, “for many people, life without a detached house is unthinkable”, and engages with this persistent dream in numerous reports. She asks local residents whether sharing accommodation in a detached house could be an answer to loneliness in old age, and draws their attention, and that of her readers, to the fact that provision is seldom ever made for easy access and support in old age. With her rich stories and experiences she provides an ideal partner for a stimulating discussion.
