Urban Sprawl In Metropolitan Detroit
[ send me this essay ]
9 pages in length. The land developers and the environmentalist have yet to meet eye-to-eye on the issue of urban sprawl in metropolitan Detroit and likely never will. According to those who believe that environmentally sustainable cities are a workable solution, the concept will incorporate enough protective aspects to make it a worthwhile proposition. From the environmentalist point of view, however, as long as people continue to spread out into the land and development continues, there is absolutely no way the notion can hold up to its claims of wildlife protection and sustainability.

Urban Sprawl, Good or Bad?
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page research paper that investigates readings both pro and con concerning urban sprawl. Over the past several years, a prominent political movement has developed in the US whose stated purpose is to limit--or even prohibit--the processes of behind suburban growth (Cox and Utt, 2004). This "anti-sprawl" movement has been frequently successful in restricting land-use policies, deriving its justification from the idea that low-density urban development (sprawl) is more costly, both monetarily and environmentally, than the dense development typical of central cities (Cox and Utt, 2004). This examination of this movement looks at viewpoints, both pro and con, before drawing a conclusion as to the validity of either side. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
