Duck, ruburb, tower farm, big box, and pig-in-a-python are among
the dozens of zany terms invented by real estate developers and
designers today to characterize land-use practices and the physical
elements of sprawl. Sprawl in the environment, based on the
metaphor of a person spread out, is hard to define. This concise
book engages its meaning, explains common building patterns, and
illustrates the visual culture of sprawl. Seventy-five stunning
color aerial photographs, each paired with a definition, convey the
impact of excessive development. This "engagingly organized and
splendidly photographed" (Wall Street Journal) book provides the
verbal and visual vocabulary needed by professionals, public
officials, and citizens to critique uncontrolled growth in the
American landscape.
