Sprawl Or Density?

"Promoting high-density residential development, now taking up only 3 percent of the Baltimore region's land, challenges suburbs used to accommodating, not containing, sprawl. Zoning and building codes often are hostile to higher densities, narrower streets, pedestrians, and mixing offices and stores with residences. Adequate infrastructure must be in place.But most of all, a cultural revolution is needed - one in which well-designed, higher-density suburban development becomes much more widely acceptable. Until then, the centrifugal forces devouring Maryland's landscape will persist."
