| description | During recent decades, urban sprawl has been substantially debated in the literature, carrying
significant social, economic and environment implications, much earlier than of sustainable
development concept being introduced. Often, urban sprawl is defined in terms of undesirable
development. Urban sprawl is also associated with negative urban expansion and excessive
resource consumption. To mitigate urban sprawl, urban growth management has been timely
implemented by understanding urbanization characteristics and their socio-environment and
economic driving forces. While sustainable urban development is a highly developed spatial
form of integrated cities, urban sprawl mostly occurred in lower densities accompanied by
expansion of urban periphery, is acknowledged as the opposite force, with its character of
scattered and leapfrogging development. Therefore, urban sprawl is the most impactful urban
development patterns that occurred at an unprecedented rate that threaten sustainable
development. This article examined the characteristics and the consequences of urban sprawl and
how it affects sustainable development. |
