The question remains whether any of the integrated whole-systems concepts from the case studies, in part or in whole, have retrofit potential for US cities.
Even though the common assumption is that whole-systems integration is possible only with new development, many of the lessons learned from the European examples have promising retrofit potential for making American cities both more resilient and more sustain- able, while also creating a healthier and enriched urban life.
The potential value of this kind of retrofit is best illustrated by what happened to land values around Metro stops in the Washington, DC, region.
Retrofitting US cities with "green" transit- oriented, mixed-use infill projects and neighborhoods along transit corridors is the most promising first step in a US road map to sustainability.
These strategies not only are especially effective in new construction but also are applicable and effective as retrofits.
