Causes
1. Rapid Population Growth
-Since 1950, more than 90 percent of the U.S. metropolitan population growth has taken place in the suburbs.
-Roughly two out of three people in the nation’s metro areas are suburban dwellers.
- People are moving from rural areas to urban areas.

Solutions
1. Sustainable Communities – cities developed to work with less pollution and reduce effects of urban sprawl.
![Page 21: URBAN SPRAWL Denton High School 2013-2014. The map to the right shows the urban sprawl of Baltimore, MD starting in 1792. = Baltimore, MD.](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103022/56649d0a5503460f949ddaac/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Sustainable Communities:
• Land for growing crops
• Mass transportation• Green Spaces• Smart Growth
– jobs and schools in the same neighborhoods
