Description
"Sprawl is taking a grave toll on our environment and the way we live. Mushrooming growth has led to heavy traffic, ugly strip malls, isolated workplaces, and loss of open space.". "Solving Sprawl offers an encouraging contrast to these grim trends. Through 35 inspiring stories, the book illustrates how cities, suburbs, and rural areas have found profitable, community-oriented alternatives to sprawl. The developers, planners, and ordinary citizens featured in the book have successfully turned industrial brownfields into pedestrian-friendly shopping hubs, built affordable housing around public transit, and preserved cherished local landscapes. Solving Sprawl illustrates a wide variety of successful smart-growth strategies and reveals how these techniques allow local economies, environments, and communities to thrive."--BOOK JACKET.
