Got Sprawl?

This week's Chicago Reader includes a review (PDF) of UIC professor Robert Bruegmann's potentially controversial book Sprawl. While not a polemic for sprawl, the "compact history" is much more kind to the phenomenon than texts by the likes of James Howard Kunstler that paint it as a purely destructive force.

In addition to Harold Henderson's review in the Reader, Witold Rybczynski wrote this review for Slate published a month ago.
