Some may not call it "suburban", but I think that Arlington County, Virginia, is an excellent example of a great mixed-use, post-suburban county. (I live there.) The insight that county managers had 30+ years ago when the DC Metro was being routed, is astounding. It's matured into an incredible mixture of neighborhoods, high-rises, and single-family homes, with a unique flair.
Tyson's Corner Virginia, about 20 minutes away, is about to embark on a major overhaul centered around two large malls, and intended in some sense to mimic a particular region (Ballston-Clarendon) of Arlington County. I hope they've read this book.
