If you have any concerns about unchecked, land-gluttonous suburban sprawl, please consider this important new book:
Time to bust the sprawl status quo! “Sprawl Kills - How Blandburbs Steal Your Time, Health and Money” by Joel S. Hirschhorn is exciting, provocative, and filled with unique information. Sprawl Kills examines a combination of interrelated topics that no other book has achieved. You can choose to ignore sprawl, but it will not ignore you. Readers will learn how to fight corrupt sprawl politics used by the sprawl industry, identify sprawl shills, identify true alternatives to sprawl, and kill sprawl, before it kills our country.
Books can change society, as proved by Ralph Nader's “Unsafe At Any Speed,” and Rachel Carson's “Silent Spring.” The tipping point for a revolution in the housing and transportation markets is within sight. Healthy active living can be promoted by replacing blandburbs with walkable real neighborhoods, designed on smart growth and New Urbanism principles. No matter what else you've read, “Sprawl Kills” gives a new picture of what American society can and should be. Learn how “sprawl politics” - aided by right-wing sprawl shills - have corrupted government and deprived Americans of housing and transportation choices, caused environmental damage and loss of greenspace, and harmed public health. Check out the book on www.sprawlkills.com Buy it on the major book-selling Internet sites - the best price is on Amazon.
sprawlkills - while I hate to be the contrarian here all the time it go's without saying that suburbanization has been the greatest economic engine the world has ever seen. Its dependence on the automobile has given birth to a global manufacturing system relying on the interconnectedness of many nations economies. It has given the people mobility and freedom to what they wish on an affordable tabula rasa whose destination points (buildings) can be built reletively affordably and fluidly as economics dictate.
