Abstract:

The southeast is growing at a phenomenal rate. Although this growth has brought many benefits to the region, such as more jobs and higher incomes, the explosive, low-density land use development that is transforming the southeast is linked to an increasing array of environmental, health, economic, and social problems. Public awareness and concern with the problems relating to sprawl have increased, creating pressure for change and significant opportunities to promote new approaches that can capture the benefits of growth while reducing the accompanying costs.
