I. The United Kingdom -- pt. II. France and continental Western Europe -- pt. III. The United States of America.Urban sprawl is one of the key planning issues today. This book compares Western Europe and the USA, focusing on anti-sprawl policies. The USA is known for its settlement patterns that emphasize low-density suburban development and extreme automobile dependence, whereas European countries emphasize higher densities, pro-transit policies and more compact urban growth. Yet, on closer inspection, the differences are not as wide as first appears. A key feature of the book is the attention given to France; its experience is little known in the English-speaking world. The book concludes that both continents can offer each other useful insights and perhaps policy guidance.Urban planning and environment.Cities and townsEurope, WesternGrowthCities and townsUnited StatesGrowthCity planningEnvironmental aspectsEurope, WesternCity planningEnvironmental aspectsUnited StatesUrban policyEurope, WesternUrban policyUnited StatesLand subdivisionEurope, WesternLand subdivisionUnited StatesEurope, WesternPopulationEurope, WesternEnvironmental conditionsUnited StatesPopulationUnited StatesEnvironmental conditionsCities and townsGrowth.Cities and townsGrowth.City planningEnvironmental aspectsCity planningEnvironmental aspectsUrban policyUrban policyLand subdivisionLand subdivision307.76094Bae Chang-Hee Christine1868965Richardson Harry W.1938-108247MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910957766903321Urban sprawl in Western Europe and the United States4477035UNINA
