An Illustrated Vocabulary to Sprawl 17 -- Sources 120 -- Selected Bibliography 121 -- Index 127 -- "Can you define edge node, boomburb, tower farm, big box, and parsley round the pig? Sprawl is hard to pin down and the terms change every day. This concise book defines the vocabulary of sprawl from alligator to zoomburb, illustrating fifty one colorful terms invented by real estate developers and designers to characterize contemporary building patterns. Sixty nine aerial photographs, each paired with a definition, convey the impact of development and provide verbal and visual vocabulary needed by professionals, public officials, and citizens to critique uncontrolled growth in the American landscape. This "devil's dictionary" of American building accompanies a critique of metropolitan regions organized around unsustainable growth, where sprawling new areas of automobile oriented construction flourish as older neighborhoods are left to decline." -- Cities and towns Growth Pictorial works 73674 Local Land use Planning Pictorial works 122763 Local Wark, Jim. 289487 lcc 6 HT321 General H3856 2004 245575 245575 0 0 lcc 0 0 4 4 33 2014-09-15 amazon 7.34 527655 0 General HT321 H3856 2004 91000000041418 2016-05-27 00:00:00 1 17.94 0000-00-00 6
