intro+to+problem_sprawl

Backround: Urban Sprawl is the matter of low population density in a surrounding area because communities are far too spread out. In addition, these urbanized developments require much more land than traditional developments. This brings health and environmental problems into the issue of urban sprawl. Because automobiles are practically a necessity, health issues including obesity arising since walking or riding bikes is not an option. Environmental impacts are associated with pollution due to traffic and water quality and quantity. Another impact would be fragmenting and destroying nature and wildlife habitats. In the long run, urban sprawl isn't just effecting the human population but also nature within itself. Unfortunately, these suburban areas also tend to be more expensive because services such as water, sewers, and electricity need to be provided for these less dense areas. We chose this topic because we wanted to deal with something that interacted with more than just in school related. Since this is a rising concern due to health and environmental issue we wanted to learn more about it.
