Project: Counterpoint: Accessibility and Sprawl
Randall Crane’s essay provides a counterpoint to Robert Bruegmann’s perspective on accessibility and sprawl in this journal volume. Bruegmann’s recent work on the history of urban form situates contemporary discussions of sprawl in a well-researched historical context; however, this essay takes a different perspective on several key points in Bruegmann’s analysis, particularly in relation to cost-benefit analysis for transportation-disadvantaged populations.
