Abstract
  • In Dead End: Suburban Sprawl and the Rebirth of American Urbanism, Benjamin Ross pulls together a narrative detailing how the American suburbs came into existence and how the unintended consequences of sprawl created problems that planners are scrambling to resolve 70 years later. In something reminiscent of a psychological assessment of the built environment, Ross poses the question, why do so many Americans live in widely dispersed, single-family homes and willingly spend so much time sitting in traffic?
