Overview Sprawl New Regionalism Smart Growth New Urbanism Definition Issues/Problems New Regionalism Smart Growth New Urbanism

Sprawl Sprawl: EPA definition: residential density of 3 dwellings or less per acre (about 208.7 feet per side of a square; football field is 1.3 acres)

Issues/Problems Lower population density loss of land for agricultural or “green field” use suburban growth outpaced urban population increase New York: 5% increase in population (1964-1989) 61% increase in developed land Reasons for?

Issues/Problems Traffic Decrease in roads/vehicle 1970s: 61 yards of roadway/vehicle 1986: 39 yards of roadway/vehicle Increase in number of licensed drivers up 65% from 1970 to 1997 Increase in registered vehicles up 87% from 1970 to 1997

Issues/Problems Traffic Increase in “cross” commute (i.e., suburb to suburb) and “reverse commute (city to suburb) Difficulty of coordinating mass transit solution

Issues/Problems From 1987 to 1995, traffic congrestion grew 235% (average flow rate below 35 m.p.h.) Upshot: Increase in Travel time in car average commute time has increased

Issues/Problems Impact on gasoline prices In sum, big increase in cost of commute in terms of time and money Psychological costs

Issues/Problems Expansion fueled further expansion as advantages of suburbia dwindled with expanding suburbia Aesthetics of strip malls, hiways, and traffic
