Sprawl is not only an ongoing focus of specialized magazines like Dwell; indeed, Time magazine has cited recycling the suburbs as the second of Ten Ideas Changing the World Right Now.

The authors address head-on the most controversial aspects of sprawlissues of power and control, justice and equity, and American attitudes about regulating private development. But they also put these issues in practical contexts, bringing in examples of redesign that are already occurring around the country, including the retrofitting of corridors and the repurposing of cul-de-sacs.
