Urban Fringe: the ring of small towns and suburbs around a city. Commuters Leads to urban core decay.

Rural Fringe: the small towns, farms and open spaces just beyond the suburbs. Eaten up by urban sprawl

Urban Growth Positives Creates Needed Homes Cheaper new houses Economic boost New Jobs, Purchases, and Taxes

Urban Growth Negatives Damages the Environment Habitat loss for plants and animals Air pollution and traffic jams

Coyotes spotted in Littleton

Farmland loss Only about a tenth of Earth’s land is suitable for farming.

Smart Growth Strategies Infill: filling in empty or run down parts of a city with new development.

Mixed-use Development: combines housing and businesses in one area. Encourages people to live, work, and shop in one neighborhood.

Urban Growth Boundaries: a legal border separating urban and rural land.

Assignment: Urban Sprawl in Your Area ELT: Analyze arrangements of settlements. Let’s consider urban sprawl in metro Denver, possible problems, and possible smart growth solutions.
