Efforts To Limit And Reform Sprawl Through Legislative Smart Growth Initiatives Have Been Enacted Around The Country While The Neotraditionalist New Urbanism Has Been Embraced By Many Architects And Urban Planners.

Along With An Introduction By Robert Fishman, These Essays Call For Architects, Urban Planners, And Landscape Designers To Work At Mitigating The Impact Of Sprawl On Land And Resources And Improving The Residential And Commercial Built Environment As A Whole.
