"The authors document the extent of sprawl in the United States, define an alternative form of growth, and compare what the total financial costs of those two forms of development would be. The result is solid evidence of the staggering price-tag the American public is paying for sprawl development. The book details how dense development in the future would both decrease public costs for development and improve our lives."--BOOK JACKET
