Andrew Revkin had a great post relating to the environmental consequences of society’s migration towards suburbia and the potential for reversing this course. The gist of the problem is that low density suburban living requires vastly more energy resources than city living. (Imagine: big spacious homes to be heated, vast lawns to be manicured, long commutes to be driven, etc.)
In the post Revkin includes a handful of very interesting links dealing with this subject. One of which is a trailer for the movie “The End of Suburbia” which deals with this trend, its environmental impact and potential solutions.
