Measuring the Sprawl
Submitted by Steven F. Hayward, Ph.D on 8.1.2000
Controversy about growth and development has been a staple of politics in fast-growing coastal states such as California and Florida for decades, but now the controversy about sprawl has come to the heartland as well. The concern over suburban sprawl is fueling political sentiment for increased government regulation of land use. The issue might even end up in the middle of the presidential campaign: Vice President Al Gore has jumped on the antisprawl bandwagon.
