Urban sprawl is one of the key planning issues today. This book
compares Western Europe and the USA, focusing on anti-sprawl
policies. The USA is known for its settlement patterns that
emphasize low-density suburban development and extreme automobile
dependence, whereas European countries emphasize higher densities,
pro-transit policies and more compact urban growth. Yet, on closer
inspection, the differences are not as wide as first appears. A key
feature of the book is the attention given to France; its
experience is little known in the English-speaking world. The book
concludes that both continents can offer each other useful insights
and perhaps policy guidance.
