Sprawl by Robert Bruegmann
Stripping urban sprawl of its pejorative connotations, this book offers a new vision of the city and its growth. The author leads readers to the conclusion that in its complexity and constant change, the city is a wonderful work of mankind.
"Robert Bruegmann's Sprawl is the most important book on the American landscape since Jane Jacobs's The Death and Life of Great American CitiesIt will be as influential in helping us to see American cities and suburbs as they actually are, rather than as imagined by the world's ideologues." - Alexander Garvin, Professor of Urban Planning and Management, Yale University, and author of The American City: What Works, What Doesn't"
