A compact, high rise community as mentioned in "Prove it"
The library database is a great place to find interesting articles. When I was searching the database, I found an article that criticizes anti-sprawl arguments. In Suburban Nation, we only get one side of the argument which is the arguments against sprawl. The authors of the book did well trying to convince us about the dark side of neighborhoods development by providing examples from daily lives. However, we do not really get to see what other people think about the issue. Reading this book is like listening to only one side of the argument.
The article I want to introduce is called “Prove It.” This article challenges the credibility of the arguments from Suburban Nation. As we have read from the book, sprawl is associated with more land usage and less farm land. However, in our modern time, we can reap more products from less farmland than decades ago due to better technology, and more efficient farming techniques. This is one of the many issues from the article that raises our skeptics about the validity of the arguments from the book.
