A visual lexicon of the colorful slang, from alligator investment to zoomburb, that defines sprawl in America. 'May well establish Ms. Hayden as the Roger Tory Peterson of Sprawl.' New York TimesDuck, ruburb, tower farm, big box, and piginapython are among the dozens of zany terms invented by real estate developers and designers today to characterize landuse practices and the physical elements of sprawl. Sprawl in the environment, based on the metaphor of a person spread out, is hard to define. This concise book engages its meaning, explains common building patterns, and illustrates the visual culture of sprawl. Seventyfive stunning color aerial photographs, each paired with a definition, convey the impact of excessive development. This 'engagingly organized and splendidly photographed' (Wall Street Journal) book provides the verbal and visual vocabulary needed by professionals, public officials, and citizens to critique uncontrolled growth in the American landscape. 75 color illustrations
