In Sprawl: A Compact History, Robert Bruegmann, an art historian, has painted a superficially convincing case for the status quo, asserting that sprawl is "a natural result of affluence that occurs in all urbanized societies." Bruegmann's book has generated glowing media publicity.

The one certainty in this dynamic intersection of land development and conservation is that there is no one best model adaptable to all fifty states.
