A term getting increasing publicity in even mainstream media, sprawl refers to the uncontrolled spread of urban and suburban development farther and farther away from the urban core There are many causes of this phenomenon, but contrary to what you might have heard from the National Association of Homebuilders, sprawl is NOT caused because it is what consumers want Occasionally, sprawl is portrayed as a liberal vs conservative issue, with liberals concerned about sprawl and conservatives (as is usual) with their head in the sand Actually, sprawl is a conservative issue as well when one takes a look at the root causes, which include too much government regulation, market distorting incentives, and excessive and complicated taxation policies Like global warming, sprawl is an environmental issue with widespread ramifications for much of society Learn more at: the Sierra Club
The process in which the spread of development across the landscape far outpaces population growth The landscape sprawl creates has four dimensions: a population that is widely dispersed in low-density development; rigidly separated homes, shops, and workplaces; a network of roads marked by huge blocks and poor access; and a lack of well-defined, thriving activity centers, such as downtowns and town centers Most of the other features usually associated with sprawl-the lack of transportation choices, relative uniformity of housing options or the difficulty of walking-are a result of these conditions (Smart Growth America)
Outward spread of cities as their populations increase that is marked by much less efficient use of land than in the older sections of the cities With sprawl, a city's land area grows at a much faster rate than its population
