Negative About Urban Sprawl:
~Urban Sprawl is causing lots of uproar among the people who want to “go greener”. Those people are upset because people keep moving further and further from cities because of cheap land and housing. They complain that instead of protecting the environment we are making things worse with urban sprawl because we are selling and buying more land for homes, but that means that we are going to be cutting down more trees. Also, once you have a lot of houses in one area more buildings and shopping is going to pop up in that area, which doesn’t help Mother Nature that much.
Things Trying to Stop Urban Sprawl:
~Natural Boundaries are keeping urban sprawl at bay. In Los Vegas there is not too much water there because it is in the middle of the desert. The supply of water is in the city, so not many people are going to stray too far.
~Tennessee required municipalities to create urban growth boundaries in 1998. This means that they said that some land cannot be developed.
