We argue that when some landscapes and social groups are …

Sprawl In Europe And America, Michael E. Lewyn
Sprawl In Europe And America, Michael E. Lewyn
Michael E Lewyn
Rebuts the "Inevitability Theory of Sprawl"- the common argument that anti-sprawl policies would be futile in the United States because sprawl has grown even in Europe.

This article argues that the European "trend to sprawl" is in the process of reversing itself. Over the past decade, some European cities …
