One of the policies that has been most widely used to try to limit
urban sprawl has been that of urban containment. These policies are
planning controls limiting the growth of cities in an attempt to
preserve open rural uses, such as habitat, agriculture and
forestry, in urban regions. While there has been a substantial
amount of research into these urban containment policies, most have
focused on issues of land use, consumption, transportation impacts
or economic development issues. This book examines the effects of
urban containment policies on key social issues, such as housing,
wealth building and creation, racial segregation and
gentrification. It argues that, while the policies make important
contributions to environmental sustainability, they also affect
affordability for all the economic groups of citizens aside from
the most wealthy. However, it also puts forward suggestions for
revising such policies to counter these possible negative social
impacts. As such, it will be valuable reading for scholars of
environmental planning, social policy and regional development, as
well as for policy makers.
