Aprašymas

Sprawl. The word calls to mind a host of troublesome issues such as city flight  runaway suburban development  and the conversion of farmland to soulless housing developments. In Sprawltown  architectural historian Richard Ingersoll makes the surprising claim that sprawl is an inevitable reality of modern life that should be addressed more thoughtfully and recognized as its own new form of urbanism rather than simply being criticized and condemned.          In five thought-provoking chapters  covering topics such as tourism  film  and the automobile  Ingersoll takes the position that any solution to the problems of sprawl--including pressing issues like resource use and energy waste--must take into consideration its undeniable success as a social milieu. No screed against the suburb  this book offers a more sophisticated and nuanced view of the way we think about its rapid development and growth.
