jgs1419 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 (edited) I came across Robert Bruegmann's new book on sprawl. Sprawl and its effects are a constant topic of conversation and Bruegmann's view of sprawl, it's historical context, etc. are interesting though likely to upset many advocates of more control on planning and development. Bruegmann is a professor of art history and architecture at the University of Illinois-Chicago.A review of Bruegmann's book is available at The Weekly Standard:Vincent Cannato Review: The Weekly StandardAnother review in Slate:Review of Sprawl: SlateAn excerpt from Slate's review:"Sprawl is and always has been inherent to urbanization. It is driven less by the regulations of legislators, the actions of developers, and the theories of city planners, than by the decisions of millions of individuals Edited March 22, 2006 by jgs1419 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
