Cities, Sagebrush, and Solitude explores the transformation of the largest desert in North America, the Great Basin, into Americas last urban frontier. In recent decades Las Vegas, Reno, Salt Lake City, and Boise have become the anchors for sprawling metropolitan regions. This population explosion has been fueled by the maturing of Las Vegas as the nations entertainment capital, the rise of Reno as a magnet for multitudes of California expatriates, the development of Salt Lake Citys urban corridor along the Wasatch Range, and the growth of Boises celebrated hightech economy and hip urban culture.The blooming of cities in a fragile desert region poses a host of environmental challenges. The policies required to manage their impact, however, often collide with an entrenched political culture that has long resisted cooperative or governmental effort. The alchemical mixture of three ingredientscities, aridity, and a libertarian political outlookmakes the Great Basin a compelling place to study. This book addresses a pressing question: Are large cities ultimately sustainable in such a fragile environment?
