Suburban Sprawl, Gentrification And The Rise Of Urbanism

North Texas is one of the nation’s leaders in urban sprawl. This hour, we’ll talk about why certain metropolitan areas tend to grow out instead of up with Benjamin Ross. He writes about strategies to stem sprawl in his book, Dead End: Suburban Sprawl and the Rebirth of American Urbanism.  Ross will read from his book ‘Dead End: Suburban Sprawl and the Rebirth of American Urbanism’ at The Wild Detectives bookstore in Oak Cliff on Thursday at 7pm.
