Bruegmann on Sprawl
Clark Williams-Derry wrote briefly about a review of Robert Bruegmann's new book, "Sprawl" (http://www.robertbruegmann.com/books.html), back in November (http://gristmill.grist.org/story/2005/11/11/195543/54).
I think someone at Grist should consider reviewing the book. An interview with Bruegmann would make a good feature as well.
I'm in the middle of the book, so I can't comment substantively on what Bruegmann thinks of the political dimensions of sprawl. The book is a history of sprawl, and I think it will be seen as iconoclastic by many adherents of new urbanism. But it is a significant book, and Grist readers would benefit by learning more about it. Your thoughts?On Why isn't there more new urbanism? posted 3 years, 8 months ago 28 Responses
