Home About ELC Site Map Contact Us ... Food Urban Sprawl In the decades following World War II, rising prosperity, availability of affordable transportation, and the lure of green lawns and open spaces spurred a migration of inner city populations to suburban areas. From 1970 to 1990, suburban populations grew 60 percent, while urban populations grew only 12 percent. This trend continued in the last decade, as families moved further away from city centers to find lower housing costs. The expansion of urban areas has been termed "urban sprawl." While there are various definitions of urban sprawl, it is generally considered to be low-density and dispersed development of land outside urban centers. Who Sprawls Most? How Growth Patterns Differ Across the U.S. Brookings Institute scholars examine urban growth patterns and density of land use across the U.S. and the factors that contribute to low-density urban development. See the Brookings Urban Center site for additional research on sprawl and smart growth. Rice University: The Sprawl Net Homepage The School of Architecture maintains a resource page for information, data, and policies regarding urban sprawl.

103. The Cost Of Urban Sprawl: A Jurisdictional Context The Cost of urban sprawl A Jurisdictional Context. urban sprawl, however, has been regarded as a negative phenomenon by most scholars. http://www.asu.edu/caed/proceedings97/dekel.html

The Cost of Urban Sprawl: A Jurisdictional Context Gabriel Dekel, MCIP The issue of the financial cost of sprawl has received limited scholarly attention. Conceptually speaking, the subject has been treated from a narrow and fragmented perspective. Current fiscal impact analysis lacks a clear spatial-systemic perspective of the cost of sprawl. A jurisdictional distinction between the site of sprawl and the location of its financial impact reveals the complete spatial-systemic scope of the cost of sprawl. This essay describes three case studies to illustrate a triple perspective of the cost of sprawl in a jurisdictional context. A study conducted by the Real Estate Research Corporation (RERC, 1974) represents a notable exception to the widespread neglect of the fiscal costs of sprawl. Unfortunately, the RERC study over-emphasizes the design aspect of sprawl, thus failing to address the full scope of the issue (Dekel, 1995). This is true at both the macro and micro levels of the analysis. In macro or regional terms, the study considers only the direct costs of sprawl incurred solely by the municipality in which sprawl takes place, thus ignoring indirect inter-municipal impacts. At the micro or the detailed level of analysis, the study does not properly isolate the density variable. For example, the RERC study measures the costs of different development "prototypes," and compares a planned subdivision with a sprawl development. Such a reference overlooks the need to evaluate land-efficiency on a clear density scale for both spontaneous and planned subdivisions.

Cities are a sprawling mess because the benefits of tapping into existing infrastructure compete with the drawbacks of high land costs in built-up areas. So suggests a new model that could help predict future urban expansion The model accounts for the human decisions and motivations involved in urban planning, so it might also guide policies restricting or directing growth. It has been developed by Claes Andersson of the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, USA, and his colleagues. To say that the modern city is alive seems sometimes more than a metaphor. "Whether we consider London as a young man refreshed and risen from sleep," says the city's biographer Peter Ackroyd, "or whether we lament its condition as a deformed giant, we must regard it as a human shape with its own laws of life and growth." This growth can be alarming. Soaring urban air pollution, noise, traffic congestion, lack of open space and overcrowding, has driven some US citizens to place sprawl at the top of their worry list. It is, "undermining America's environment, economy and social fabric," says Donald Chen, director of Smart Growth America, an organization that seeks to improve urban conditions.

The Pentagon, the National Governors Association, and many states are trying to address the issue with a mix of voluntary guidelines and laws designed to protect the ability of the military to carry out its missions. "All services in the military are experiencing this problem and are trying to work with local communities. Some are more cooperative than others," said one Pentagon official who deals with the issue. "Military installations are major economic engines, and development has been crowding closer and closer and closer, sometimes to the point that either the mission has to cease or the base has to close. This is what uncontrolled urban sprawl is doing to us throughout the country," the official said. For example, Los Alamitos Naval Air Station near Los Angeles is no longer an active air base. It now exists as an army reserve station, and there is some doubt how much longer that will last.

Research by a University of Denver geographer, however, shows that true urban sprawl occurs most often in mid-west and southern metropolitan areas. "Western cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco have lower levels of urban sprawl than inland and mid-western cities such as Atlanta, St. Louis and Minneapolis," says Paul C. Sutton, professor of geography at DU. Dr. Sutton examined urban sprawl in all US metro areas with populations of 50,000 or more. His research is described in the August 2003 issue of the journal Remote Sensing of Environment (Vol. 86, Issue 3) in a paper titled "A Scale-Adjusted Measure of Urban Sprawl Using Nighttime Satellite Imagery."

Commercial Printing Urban sprawl evident in Columbia Brookings Institution study: Suburban growth expensive. By JOHN SULLIVAN of the Tribune’s staff Published Sunday, December 8, 2002 Growth in the four smaller metro regions of Columbia, Springfield, Joplin and St. Joseph taken together outpaced that of St. Louis and Kansas City in the 1990s. Combined with the unprecedented development of the state’s rural land, the Missouri’s unique growth patterns could threaten the Show Me State’s quality of life, a recent study said. Combining census data with hundreds of interviews of business owners, government officials, academics and local people, the study appears to validate calls for tackling the negative aspects of rapid growth. Its major findings reflect much of what Missouri localities already know: The fastest growth is occurring around smaller metro areas and in rural counties, where people are rapidly moving from city and town centers to wide-open spaces. This trend has dispersed economic wealth but has also strained state and local tax revenues, threatened natural resources and eroded Missouri’s rural heritage. The study also showed that minority residents accounted for more than half of the state’s population growth. Hispanics helped fuel the growth, doubling in number over the last decade as well as dispersing across the state in pursuit of jobs in poultry processing and the service industry in Branson. They were followed in number by blacks and Asians.

108. Urban Sprawl & Environmental Justice Disparities urban sprawl Environmental Justice Disparities. Ironically, the environmental concerns over the growing impacts from urban sprawl http://www.eeeee.net/sd03018.htm

Ironically, the environmental concerns over the growing impacts from urban sprawl around the U.S., as well as in other global metropolitan centers, also speaks to issues of social and environmental justice. Every week for example, 500 acres of green space, forest, and farmland in the Atlanta region are plowed under to make way for new housing subdivisions, strip malls, shopping centers, and highways. Urban sprawl-fueled growth is widening the gap between the region's "haves" and "have nots" and is pushing people further and further apart geographically, politically, economically, and racially (says a report entitled, "Sprawl Atlanta: Social Equity Dimensions of Uneven Growth and Development," by sociologist Robert Bullard, Clark-Atlanta University, the principal author). Many government policies including housing, land use, energy, transportation, environmental, and education have actually aided and in some cases subsidized urban sprawl. In Atlanta for example, the economic activity centers and emerging activity centers are concentrated in the region's predominately white northern suburbs. Fifteen of the region's eighteen activity centers are located north of the I-20 freeway a freeway that historically divided the region racially and geographically. Only one of the five emerging activity centers are located south of I-20. While sprawl can not be blamed for all of the social ills in the three million plus Metropolitan Atlanta region, sprawl development patterns have contributed to the concentration of urban core poverty, limited mobility, economic disinvestment, social isolation, and city/suburban disparities. Fair housing laws for example, are not uniformly enforced across the region. Housing discrimination is a major barrier for black Atlantans. African Americans are twice as likely to experience housing discrimination in the region's suburbs than in the city of Atlanta. African Americans are treated less favorably than whites 30% of the time in Atlanta and 67% of the time in Atlanta's suburbs.

Planners say this is a valuable perspective and the knowledge will encourage spreading "up" not "out". To put sprawl into context, cities and towns prevent the growth of about 3 billion tons of biomass each year, about 2.2% of the Earth's primary productivity. That is a lot of tarmac!! "

Click Here White Papers Sponsor Resources WebCasts advanced search ... About Us April 16, 2004 Wireless Technology And Urban Sprawl By David Haskin Even the most useful technology can have unforeseen social impacts. For example, does wireless technology encourage urban sprawl? I read recently that ferries that ply the San Juan Islands in Puget Sound will offer Wi-Fi, enabling those who live on an island to work as they commute to their jobs in downtown Seattle. Historically, building freeways caused the edges of metropolitan areas to expand. Couldn't using Wi-Fi to eliminate unproductive commuting time have the same effect? My case isn't that much different, I suppose. I live far in the country and work out of my home, a luxury made possible by the Internet. I live so far out that DSL and cable are nowhere near, so I rely on a satellite connection for Internet access. I don't mention this as a guilt trip but rather because it's best to have our eyes open when we start deploying new technologies on a widespread basis. It's not just big social issues like urban sprawl that I refer to. Your corporate culture also could change. For example, is the availability of Wi-Fi in corporate conference rooms causing people to multitask in meetings when they should be paying more attention? Does 24/7 availability increase productivity over the long-term?
