Urban sprawl has been one of the major development
issues in the United States and many other countries.
Sprawl affects every aspect of American lifestyles
and the debate between sprawling and compact
development has received enormous attention. This
book seeks to discover whether compact development
provides better urban amenities and quality of life
for residents by surveying the largest ninety-nine
metropolitan areas in the United States in 2000.
Comparisons are drawn between central cities and
suburbs to see how different places offer distinct
amenities for their residents. Further questions are
explored to probe the relationship between compact
development, amenities presented, and quality of life
among high- and low-density communities. The findings
demonstrate the importance of compact development to
provide desirable amenities and identify crucial
policy issues for urban revitalization. This book can
increase the consumer awareness of trade-offs between
different lifestyles and serve as a policy guide for
fighting sprawl and building a brighter urban future
in America.
