Car Reliant Cities Continue To Grow And Pollute

"International efforts to control global warming are becoming more difficult as millions of people move to cities designed for automobiles, according to a new study by the Worldwatch Institute." The report, "City Limits: Putting Brakes on Sprawl," calls for urban design decisions that discourage sprawl. The report's authors cite that "Local concerns like clogged roads, dirty air and deteriorating neighborhoods are already fueling a backlash against sprawl. Understanding the role of sprawl in climate change should only speed up the shift toward more parks and less parking lots. We can have healthier, more livable cities and protect the planet from climate change, too."
