Description for Government Intervention and Suburban Sprawl
Hardback. Num Pages: 174 pages, biography. BIC Classification: 1KBB; JFSG; JHB; KCU; RGC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 210 x 148. Weight in Grams: 380.
This book shows how suburban sprawl is at least partially a consequence of government spending and regulation, and suggests anti-sprawl policies that can make government smaller and/or less intrusive.
Thus, the book responds to the widely held view that automobile-dependent suburban development (also known as “suburban sprawl”) is a natural result of the free market and of affluence, and accordingly cannot be altered without massive government regulation.
