This book is part of the Current Controversies Series of Greenhaven Press (part of Gale). It consists of essays that take oppsoing view points on various elements of the problem enunciated in the title. The questions raised are ; 1) Is Urban Sprawl a Serious Problem? 2) Does Urban Sprawl Hurt the Environment? 3) Does Urban Sprawl Contribute to the Decline of Cities? 4) Should Urban Sprawl Be Restricted? The book is interesting, but sometimes there is no way to vet out an author without show more refernce to other sources of information. show less
