UK Boosts Housing Development On Brownfields
9 August 2006 - 1:00pm
Government policies have led to over three quarters of new homes in Britain being built on recycled land.
"The Campaign for the Protection of Rural England (CPRE) said the figure - up from 57% a decade ago - showed that local authorities and planners were standing up to developers and forcing them to regenerate urban spaces."
"Out of a total of more than 300 councils in England outside London, 43 have succeeded in having at least 90% of their new homes built on previously developed land."

Maybe we should blame Thomas Jefferson. He was the godfather of the urban sprawl racket in America.
