Growth, Sprawl, and Urban Form

Following our Friday discussion on cities vs. suburbs (good vs. evil), the new urbanism, greenbelts and models of urban growth, some may find this article interesting. It looks at 'linear planning' as a strategy proposed over the last 100+ years as an optimal way to organize urban space and accommodate the "inevitable" growth of urban populations. Those interested in the topic might just want to browse over pictures and plans.
