Grade 12 Global Geography Urban Sprawl Grade 12 Global Geography

What is Urban Sprawl Urban Sprawl is a pattern of land use that is characterized by spread out automobile dependant development outside of more compact city centers.

Characteristics Excessive land consumption Low population densities Lack of transportation options Wide gaps between development and a scattered appearance Lack of choice in housing types and prices Separation of uses into distinct areas (not mixed) Repetitive single family home development Commercial buildings surrounded by expansive parking

Road Patterns Older Urban

Road Patterns New Suburban (Urban Sprawl)

The Process Land prices decrease as you move away from the city center Middle class people opt for cheaper homes and a perceived higher standard of living outside of the city Development jumps the borders of the city Growth proceeds sporadically and rapidly until city planners catch up. The car makes it all possible

Problems with Urban Sprawl Land use conflicts Inefficient land use Increased energy consumption and air pollution Increase in tax burden Social impacts

Problems with Urban Sprawl

Some Solutions Tax Incentives Increased developer fees reflecting the true cost of urban sprawl Revitalise existing urban spaces Greenbelts
