Sprawling places / David Kolb.

Athens : University of Georgia Press, ©2008.

ix, 267 pages ; 23 cm

Theme parks, suburban sprawl, anonymous functional places such as airports and parking lots are real human spaces, contends Kolb (emeritus philosophy, Bates College). He argues that they must be measured in terms of their own new forms of connection rather than against classic hierarchical unities. The final section narrows the focus to suburban sprawl, which he defends against many (but not all) criticisms, and proposes policy changes to make suburbia more complex, just, and humane.
