What To Do About Sprawl

Description:

Students may already be familiar with old cities and new suburbs. This lesson asks them to consider their own perceptions of cities and suburbs and has them learn about sprawl and related issues. They will read an article excerpt about sprawl and visit a virtual suburb to compare and contrast sprawl with "New Urbanism." Students will conclude by analyzing the evidence for sprawl in an Atlanta suburb and making recommendations for how that town can minimize sprawl's impact.
