摘要
In the words of former Maryland Governor Parris Glendening, “The pace of sprawl across the country remains a disaster-to the environment, to our quality of life, to our communities.” Despite such critics throughout history, sprawl continues to expand its reach and deepen its impact. If the enveloping metropolis is inevitable, how can we help it to blend in with the landscape, working in tandem with people and ecosystems? © 2004, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.
