Abstract

What lies behind concerns about the way metropolitan areas have been spreading out over the past several decades? This spreading out, or sprawl, is reflected in lower density and centralization in metropolitan areas. In \\"Sprawl: What's in a Name?\\" Tim Schiller highlights some recent trends toward lower population and employment density in metro areas and discusses some of the underlying forces propelling these trends
