Cities are the most sustainable way to manage human habitats
• Lower per capita footprint• Takes up less space• Requires less transportation• Fewer cars• No lawns• Smaller homes/less consumption• Uses less energy for heating

Problems with Cities
• Disease transmission• Air and Water Pollution• Urban heat island effect

Urban Sprawl
• Describe what is meant by urban sprawl– People moving out of a city into suburbs
![Page 7: Sustainable Urban Management and Recreation and Open Space Management](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5697bfdc1a28abf838cb0d34/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Describe three ways to mitigate urban sprawl (methods of Smart
Growth)– High rise buildings, homes close to factories,
local mass transit

– Bike lanes on Marengo, Bump out curbs. High density developments, Shopping, schools, recreation, business, post office in walking distance, Bike racks, Metro station
![Page 12: Sustainable Urban Management and Recreation and Open Space Management](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5697bfdc1a28abf838cb0d34/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Smart growth• Smart growth = urban growth boundaries and
other land use policies to control growth • Proponents promote:– Healthy neighborhoods and communities– Jobs and economic development– Transportation options– Environmental quality
• Building “up, not out”– Focusing development in existing areas– Favoring multistory shop-houses and high-rises
![Page 13: Sustainable Urban Management and Recreation and Open Space Management](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5697bfdc1a28abf838cb0d34/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Principles of smart growth1. Mixed land uses2. Compact building design3. Range of housing opportunities and choices4. Walkable neighborhoods5. Distinctive, attractive neighborhoods6. Preserve open space7. Develop existing communities8. A variety of transportation choices9. Predictable development decisions10. Community collaboration in development decisions
