At a shopping-center convention, Maryland Gov. Parris N. Glendening said that fighting sprawl is a top priority for many states. "Cities looking to attract new business must also show that they are concerned with their citizens' quality of life, he said. Urban sprawl is a quality of life issue -- as it takes both natural resources and existing neighborhoods for granted, he continued."
