"[Suburban Nation is ] very non-political and pragmatic in explaining why suburbia is simply not laid out in a way that’s very convenient or healthy for people. And it depicted sprawl, not as an issue of fighting growth (which is inevitable), or moving everybody back into the cities (which is unrealistic — people fled them for a reason), but more of a problem of how to design neighborhoods (in both urban and suburban settings) in an efficient and scaleable manner."
