Description
Urban sprawl has become synonymous with urban decay, but Robert Bruegmann challenges this notion in his comprehensive history of the expanded city. By examining the evolution of urban development over time, Bruegmann reveals that sprawl is neither recent nor uniquely American, but rather a natural consequence of economic growth and social change. In Sprawl: A Compact History, Bruegmann offers a fresh perspective on the city and its growth, stripping away the negative connotations associated with sprawling metropolises. He demonstrates that sprawl has provided millions of people with greater mobility, privacy, and choice, qualities once reserved for the wealthy few. Through his incisive analysis, Bruegmann sheds new light on the complexities of urban development, revealing a more nuanced understanding of the benefits and drawbacks of sprawl.
