Lesson 20
The Suburban Challenge
Washington needs to recognize that many of the country’s biggest problems and biggest opportunities have moved beyond the city limits to the burbs. By Bruce Katz and Jennifer Bradley
Author: A Brief Introduction Bruce Katz
Vice President and Director, Metropolitan Policy Program. The Adeline M. and Alfred I. Johnson Chair in Urban and Metropolitan Policy. Bruce J. Katz is a vice president at the Brookings Institution and founding Director of the Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program which aims to provide decision makers in the public, corporate and civic sectors with policy ideas for improving the health and prosperity of cities and metropolitans areas. Katz regularly advises federal on policy reforms that advance the competitiveness of metropolitan areas.
Lesson 20
The unchecked spreading of a city or its suburbs, known as urban sprawl or suburban sprawl, is a multifaceted concept. The construction of residential and commercial buildings in rural areas or otherwise undeveloped land at the outskirts of a city are included in this concept. People generally use the term with negative connotations, as there are concerns over urban sprawl and its consequences and greatly over negative consequences for local communities and situations. People living in sprawling neighborhoods tend to drive possibly more than those who don’t. And increased air pollution is sometimes associated with urban sprawl. Compared to those living in downtown areas, people who live in sprawling neighborhoods are liable to refer to facilities such as automobiles more often. Suburbia critics have declared that all this is the causes of increased traffic congestion, prolonged time on commuting, intensified air pollution, deserted farmland, reduced space, and extra costs of neighboring cities. It has also been linked to obesity since walking or cycling usually are not applicable options of commuting for those who commute from the suburbs into downtown areas.
