Historical, legal, political, and socio-economic insights into the causes, effects, and solutions to urban sprawl. "Urban sprawl" is an occurrence that has gained much attention in recent years. It is not only an issue of land use, but also a legal, political, and social concern. It affects schools, the environment, and race relations. Comprehensive enough for school students and also appropriate for undergraduate students, this book delves into the challenges of urban sprawl by looking to some of the top thinkers on the matter, including Robert Yaro, the President of the Regional Plan Association. Other cutting-edge articles include a preface about the emergence of sprawl by columnist Neal Peirce, views about race and class by former mayor of Albuquerque David Rusk, and views from Curtis Johnson, president of the Citistates Group, about transportation dynamics. After reading a detailed definition of urban sprawl, readers will then explore the dynamics, negative impact, analysis, other cross-cutting issues, and the agenda to deal with sprawl. Complete with a glossary, resources, and contact information for smart growth alliances, this book is extremely user-friendly. Soule offers an unbiased viewpoint of this important issue, while keeping the information accessible to students. With contributors being leading experts in their fields, it also provides clear, lucid, and information about the causes of sprawl and the efforts to reign it in.
