Download or read book Urban Sprawl in Western Europe and the United States written by Chang-Hee Christine Bae and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban sprawl is one of the key planning issues today. This book compares Western Europe and the USA, focusing on anti-sprawl policies. The USA is known for its settlement patterns that emphasize low-density suburban development and extreme automobile dependence, whereas European countries emphasize higher densities, pro-transit policies and more compact urban growth. Yet, on closer inspection, the differences are not as wide as first appears. A key feature of the book is the attention given to France; its experience is little known in the English-speaking world. The book concludes that both continents can offer each other useful insights and perhaps policy guidance.
