It increasingly creates major impacts on the environment (via surface sealing, emissions by transport and ecosystem fragmentation); on the social structure of an area (by segregation, lifestyle changes and neglecting urban centres); and on the economy (via distributed production, land prices, and issues of scale).Urban Sprawl in Europe: landscapes, land-use change & policy explains the nature and dynamics of urban sprawl.
