We present an audio book review of former Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt's book Cities in the Wilderness: A New Vision of Land Use in America. Babbitt writes of the failures of local and state governments to curb sprawl and the ultimately insufficient efforts of the episodic conservation efforts achieved during his own tenure at the Department of the Interior between 1992 and 2000. This review touches on some of the highlights of Cities in the Wilderness, including Babbitt’s views on the necessary components of a sustainable land use policy for the United States.
