Just searching for "urban sprawl" in the library article database gave me 12,354 results, but displayed the top 150. On the very top of the list was an article that jumped out at me, "A (Radical) Way to Fix Suburban Sprawl." The author of the article wrote about Tysons Corner, VA, a city with "more parking spaces than jobs or residents." The solution provided was to actually build on to the area instead of cutting down on construction. The plan is to add many more housing units surrounding a new public train system to cut down on traffic as well as bring more people closer to the area. This would, over time, create a pedestrian-friendly environment and eliminate the sprawl.
