• catalog abstract ""Sprawl is taking a grave toll on our environment and the way we live. Mushrooming growth has led to heavy traffic, ugly strip malls, isolated workplaces, and loss of open space."

Through 35 inspiring stories, the book illustrates how cities, suburbs, and rural areas have found profitable, community-oriented alternatives to sprawl. The developers, planners, and ordinary citizens featured in the book have successfully turned industrial brownfields into pedestrian-friendly shopping hubs, built affordable housing around public transit, and preserved cherished local landscapes.
