Urban sprawl is bad for our health.
Whether it’s because we’re stuck in traffic, trying to get from one side of town to another, or if its a strain on public resources like power and water, cities that are too large can be a big negative in how we live our everyday lives.
Web Watch knows people who live in one part of town who seldom venture beyond a 10 mile radius, being perfectly happy living and working close to where they live. Others, we know, are happy to drive an hour or more to see a movie or eat a casual meal at a restaurant they’ve heard about.
