Solutions: what you can do Links to sprawl information online (under construction) St. Louis environmental and urban renewal organizations (under construction) What is suburban sprawl? The development of high speed, multiple lane highways after World War II allowed workers to move away from the cities to smaller towns 20-30 miles from their work. Because the land in these small towns was cheap, these new residents were able to afford to build a house on a much larger parcel of land than was possible in the city. Thus, the suburban communities were far less dense than their urban counterparts. Shortly thereafter, businesses wishing to avoid the high rent of downtown office buildings moved to less dense office parks outside the city. Eventually the demand for suburban land drove up its price. Enterprising land developers then began to buy cheaper land even farther from the city and the same process began again. Suburban sprawl has negative effects on suburbs, cities, the economy and the environment.

Urban Sprawl: the Big Picture Earth-orbiting satellites are collecting valuable data that reveal the environmental impact of fast-growing cities. Listen to this story via streaming audio , a downloadable file , or get help October 11, 2002: While space technology was undergoing its spectacular birth during the 1950s and '60s, and visionaries were predicting the spread of human colonies into space, another kind of human colony was spreading rapidlyright here on Earth! It was the dawn of the modern suburb, a time of post-war prosperity when housing developments popped up across the landscape like mushrooms after a rain. Right: A reconstruction of the growth of Baltimore, Maryland, over the last 200 years. The U.S. Geological Survey used historical records as well as Landsat satellite data to create this sequence. Courtesy USGS A half-century later, we now understand that many environmental problems accompany the outward spread of cities: fragmenting and destroying wildlife habitat, for example, and discharging polluted runoff water into streams and lakes. The emerging space technology of the 1950s has grown along with our cities. As you read this today, dozens of high-tech satellites are circling our planet, gathering terabytes of scientific data about the environment. These data provide a unique "big picture" view of the effects of urban sprawl.

By Leonard C. Gilroy Published Exclusively on Reason Public Policy Institute .org on October 26, 2001 Leonard C. Gilroy Critics of urban sprawl blame suburbia for a plethora of modern societal ills, including pollution, traffic congestion, inner city poverty, even obesity. However , a recent study by Matthew Kahn at the Tufts University Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy identifies one important benefit of sprawl: it reduces the housing consumption gap between white and black Americans. Historically, there has been a gap between black and white Americans in almost every aspect of housing consumption, including homeownership rates and average housing sizes. But this gap has been closing in recent decades.

9. Sprawl City Covers comsumption growth and population growth and their roles in urban sprawl. http://www.sprawlcity.org/

DETROIT: Here is a city that, during the period of study, lost population but experienced profound sprawl. In light of that, how can population growth be considered an important factor in American sprawl? PORTLAND: It is at the top of most Smart Growthers' lists for best planning and execution of anti-sprawl efforts. What are the results in terms of sprawl? And if this is the best any Urbanized Area has been able to do, what does that tell us about what the average Smart Growth efforts will accomplish? LOS ANGELES: If a chief goal of Smart Growth is to increase the density of Urbanized Areas, then Los Angeles is a champion of Smart Growth. So with all that de facto Smart Growth, why is L.A. mainly seen as a champion of sprawl? Population growth and increased per capita land consumption have played almost equal roles in the loss of some 1200 square miles of rural land in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Area. According to U.S. Bureau of the Census data, increased per capita land consumption was associated with about 55% of the sprawl in the Watershed and population growth was associated with about 45% of the sprawl, although there is great variation among the different Urbanized Areas of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. The Chesapeake Bay Watershed is home to more than 3,000 species of plants and animals, and nearly 15 million people today. The restoration and long-term protection of the Bay depends on halting the urban sprawl that is threatening the biodiversity and water quality of the area.

NATIONAL CENTER FOR POLICY ANALYSIS HOME DONATE ONE LEVEL UP ABOUT NCPA ... CONTACT The Truth about Urban Sprawl Monday, March 24, 1999 Urban sprawl has sparked a national debate over land-use policy. At least 19 states have established either state growth-management laws or task forces to protect farmland and open space. Dozens of cities and counties have adopted urban growth boundaries to contain development in existing areas and prevent the spread of urbanization to outlying and rural areas. The Clinton administration has proposed to make urban sprawl a federal issue. Although a clear definition of sprawl remains elusive, public debate over sprawl is driven primarily by general concerns that low-density residential development threatens farmland and open space, increases public service costs, encourages people and wealth to leave central cities and degrades the environment. However, evidence suggests that suburbanization - which might be defined as urban-like development outside central urban areas - does not significantly threaten the quality of life for most people and that land development can be managed more effectively through real-estate markets than comprehensive land-use planning. Are Open Spaces Threatened?

Sprawling land development is gobbling up the American countryside at an alarming rate around 365 acres per hour according to government figures. In most communities the amount of developed land is growing faster than the population. This pattern of growth forces us to be overly dependent on automobiles, increasing the pollution and damage they cause. It also destroys farmland and open spaces and pollutes more and more watersheds. At the same time it contributes to a range of serious social problems, particularly for urban populations left behind. In response to these trends, citizens, public interest groups and all levels of government have begun to develop smart-growth solutions to revitalize our cities, promote more compact and transit-oriented development, and conserve open space.
