"Suburban sprawl is killing us. Increasingly, physicians, public
health officials, planners, and designers recognize the
relationships between our health and our built surroundings. Urban
Sprawl and Public Health offers a cogent diagnosis of this health
menace as well as timely prescriptions for healing our
cities."--Frederick Steiner "dean, School of Architecture,
University of Texas at Austin"
"Years ago, we could see that the correlation between sprawl and
poor health should be made. Now it is done. Urban Sprawl and Public
Healthdetails how our lifestyle leads to serious health problems.
This book should be reviewed widely and its facts should be known
by all of us. It will be one of the central texts of the New
Urbanism." --Andres Duany "author of Suburban Nation: The Rise of
Sprawl and the Decline of the American Dream"
