The environmental impacts of sprawling development have been well
documented, but few comprehensive studies have examined its
economic costs. In 1996, a team of experts undertook a multi-year
study designed to provide quantitative measures of the costs and
benefits of different forms of growth. Sprawl Costs presents a
concise and readable summary of the results of that study.
The authors analyze the extent of sprawl, define an alternative,
more compact form of growth, project the magnitude and location of
future growth, and compare what the total costs of those two forms
of growth would be if each was applied throughout the nation. They
analyze the likely effects of continued sprawl, consider policy
options, and discuss examples of how more compact growth would
compare with sprawl in particular regions. Finally, they evaluate
whether compact growth is likely to produce the benefits claimed by
its advocates.
The book represents a comprehensive and objective analysis of the
costs and benefits of different approaches to growth, and gives
decision-makers and others concerned with planning and land use
realistic and useful data on the implications of various options
and policies.
