Summary

Sprawl Killsis a hard-hitting book with a new market approach for replacing sprawl with Healthy Places. It explains why America is balanced precariously on the edge of a cliff, teetering as it looks at two distinct futures. One where citizens are empowered as consumers and voters to get real housing, community and transportation choices for leading healthier, physically active lives, while the other is fraught with obesity, exclusion, worsening traffic, and disappearing greenspace. You will learn how to fight corrupt sprawl politics, identify sprawl shills, and kill sprawl before it kills you.
