Across the nation, the debate over metropolitan sprawl and its
impact has become pivotal to urban planning. A decade and a half
ago, Smart Growth America and the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency sought to raise the level of the debate by sponsoring
groundbreaking research to quantitatively measure sprawl and its
quality-of-life impacts. The resulting measures are widely used in
urban research and public health. Costs of Sprawl provides a
panoramic guide to urban form in America, measures sprawl for
metropolitan areas, urbanized areas, and counties, and studies the
relationship between sprawl and quality-of-life outcomes. From this
preliminary investigation, it looks like the costs of sprawl are
varied and substantial, and the alternative of compact development
is far superior. An essential read for researchers, planners, urban
designers, policy makers, and smart growth advocates in the U.S.
and abroad, this book provides a comprehensive and detailed
analysis of one of the most critical issues in planning today.
